I was over in our local small town library today using my laptop to test out the wifi capability and I was talking to the head librarian and she asked to see my new computer. I started showing her the computer, and pulled up my web-shots site with my quilts and she was very interested. She was particularly taken with the "quilt from hell" and so I said I would go and get it and bring it over and show it to her. I also brought over a top that I and doing that is a work in progress that is made of the same fabric squares but in a "Trip around the world" pattern. She was so enthused she asked if I would be willing to do a panel for a space above the computer area in the same "quilt from hell" style. It would be a horizontal panel about 3" high x about 8" long. I was very flattered and said I would consider it. Now I have to decide if I want to use up all of the leftover pieces that I still have and that I was going to use for a third quilt in the series I was planning. I think I will do it as the library is a wonderful resource for this town and we do a lot of stuff for them already. I don't know if there is much money involved but that is not important to me at this point. Just the fact that she asked was a great big ego stroke. There are already some lovely quilts on the walls, so it was quite a compliment to me that she asked. I think I will hang it from a large dowel within a sleeve, on the back side, that is supported at each end by wooden angle supports what hold the quilt out from the wall a couple of inches. It will be above the height that anybody can come into contact with it so it should not become worn from human contact. I just thought I would share my excitement with all of you. I will let you know what the outcome is and if completed, I will post pictures.
