Guitar Quilt

This is not quite a quilt yet, its just a quilt top. Started maybe 2 years ago, then stopped. (Sewing people tend to start new projects before others are done) Then picked it up again to finish it. There was less that 30 min of applique yet to be done. Why I had not finished that small part, I will never know. Anyway, Gary wanted to make it into a front of a sound board, something musicians used to absorb sound.?? I guess the basement does not absorb sound. Anyway, its basically a quilt top. I dont know if he will put in into a "soundboard" or not someday. I also don't know if that is the correct term for what it is. LOL

I found the pattern in a book, and I wanted to make it manly colors, and design it cool, so I picked out the black and white fabrics for the guitars, and red for the background. I thought it all kind of popped together. I scanned my fabrics into the computer, then the design, and planned out which fabrics looked good where. When I thought it looked good, I started making it. I think it turned out very well. Much better that the original picture that came with the pattern, greens, orange, and blues.

Bachelors Button

Here is a bachelors button from the garden area. Ran it through a quick-filter, and now its ART !

Not much sewing going on, just a little here and there. Pam, a member of the Stitchin' Sisters was in a motorcycle accident a few months ago, and she has been in the hospital a few times. She is having a rough time recouperating. The sewing group has taken a couple months off, since the weather is so hot, and moral is a little down with Pams condition. We are all praying for a good recovery, and that she can join the group again soon.
