Day 20 Quilting Bee #4 The Frame, and My Favorite Word?

[CapricornArtist73]

Moist hey? LOL that is a good one

Your comments about "yes" remind me of the first meeting of John and Yoko at her exhibition at the Indica gallery. One of the exhibits required him to climb a ladder and read a tiny note at the top. It said "yes". John said that it was the positivity of the word that stimulated his interest in the artist who put it there.

YES has been my favorite word forever. (which is why I named my little candle company YES Candles) Through the years I have bought, and people have sent me letters of all shapes and sizes that spell Y E S. It is quite a little collection but was starting to be too much so I put a halt to that. It made me smile when you mentioned YES...and made me laugh when you said Moist for some reason.

First of all thank you for keeping me company, I am working late.

And B....What is the deal with "Moist" What was the context or meaning? Or at least tell me if it was good connotation or a bad one? Pweeze?

3...I wish I lived in the neighborhood or even if I knew how to sew, I might just pass by...Love the idea of it

C... it would be cool if you had all of us send you a T-shirt or fabric to use in your next quilt

and in summation Much love to you sister!

@Tobie2 hi, good idea for fabrics

no connotation, guess that was the point

[tyrbolo]

I see that makes a lot more convenient arrangement for quilting than the two pole

frame. It would limit the number of people who could work at once but you get a

lot tighter assembly of the quilt.

Great story.

Your quilt is coming along fabulous. I will upload the video of the quilt I made. Last year I told you I was going to start one, but I got around to it and finished it a few days ago. Sadly, my camera wasn't working and I just got it fixed. Thanks so much for your inspiration.

I forgot to add, I love having people help put stitches in my quilt, and even though their stitches aren't as small and as even as mine, no one will notice, and I have nice way to remember the fun we have that day. And a quilt frame is a must for ease of quilting, I think. If I lived in the Bay area, I would be sending you a message to stop bye!

[QuiltingLibrarian]

That price seems so low to me...but I digress, people often have no idea the cost in actually making a quilt. If you decide to go to the fabric store, and buy good quality cotton, its easily $200 for the fabric for the top alone. Then there is the backing, and batting, and the thread. That's I never sell mine, I give them away! Ha! I would rather do that to someone that needs a quilt to keep warm! And there are plenty that do...

That frame is pretty cool. Fascinating process to those of us who'd never really thought about how quilts are made before.

Nice Vid Margret, I enjoy looking to see if you made a new one each day. I also enjoy when you talk of your concert days. Forte piano yes I want to build one too.Sometime in the future. I found plans for a cristoforie one of the first(the one that uses rolled parchment for hammers).

 The green stripe just the right touch, I love the way pink and green contrast,

colors = notes Art is so fun! Margret sew on ,play on so on and on and .....nice yes! Very !
