Hi Guys, Well, I need to get myself geared up so I can start the prep work for the kimono silks to be used in the quilted jacket I will make DD for Christmas. I am going to be at my cabin for about 6 weeks starting the end of July and want to work on it then. I have to baste the ends of all the different fabrics (that's about 2 dozen!) before I can launder them. Then pressing and deciding which fabric will go where on the jacket. Most of the fabrics have some sort of butterfly design on them as DD loves b'flies (HMMMM -- guess where any leftover butterflies will go?!?!?). I will get all the pieces (18 or 20) cut out and then ship them to myself at DD's. I'll do the quilting once I am at the cabin and then hopefully have time to get the basic jacket put together. Not sure if I will get it finished. Working on silk is tedious and very time consuming so I take a lot of breaks. It would be nice not to have to send the jacket back and forth across the country! If I get it finished, I can carefully pack it in a box and leave it at DD's. Anyway, posting about it means I have to get started -- LOLOL! Once I tell everyone I am starting, I can't back out :-). I'm also going to work on the winter cat quilt for myself! I've been collecting fabrics for it for about 8 years so it's time to get started!! CiaoMeow >^;;^<
