Taking A Day Off...

Martta Wendelin

I'm going to take the day off to catch up on my emails and play.

Thanks for all the wonderful comments you left for me the last

few days. The class was so much fun and my students are all so

enthusiastic. We stayed right on schedule all day and, if they do

their homework between now and the 31st, we'll finish all of their

embroidered envelopes so that can take them home - ready to use - 

after the next session. I can't wait to see how their embroideries turn out.

I will answer one question from the comments I received

about the American Treasures Album Quilt:

Mandy said:

"Very impressive work. Could I ask what size each block is?..."

Thanks for asking, Mandy. Each of those blocks will finish to be 15" square.

I haven't decided yet whether or not they'll be sashed, and we're still 

thinking about how the borders are going to look. It's a very exciting process.

This sentence is a link to Pearl Pereira's (P3 Designs) quilt.

She's the designer of most of the blocks. (I designed "Wisconsin" in her style.)

She didn't use sashing between the blocks and it's quite impressive that way.

We won't applique' the borders as she did, but we may use all our

fabrics from the blocks to do a patchwork border. Still deciding on that.

So, I'll be catching up with all of you who left comments for me in the 

past week, and doing a little "homekeeping", too. I'll be back tomorrow

to show you what I'll be working on next. Have a great day!
