Like the previous photo of a patio table with snow, this bench seat covered with snow seemed like a fun shot to try for with pattern and contrast. Taken at the Quality Inn, Prescott Valley.

Corliss has always sewn. She learned this from her grandmother, who taught her to make quilts. This skill eventually evolved into clothing design and fabric sculpture. Now, everything old is new again, and we're incorporating quilt designs into polymer clay. This is as much textural as it is is about the patterns and color. These bracelets mimic piecework padded fabric. We're pretty sure grandma would like these.

The quilt top is done! It's far, FAR from perfect but I am in love anyway.
I used my Curve Master presser foot to sew the 224 (!!) curved seams. It works very well (I didn't need to use a single pin on the curves and it only took one evening to sew all of them) but takes some practice. As a result some curved seams ended up more accurate than others and so some of the curves don't match perfectly at the corners. Luckily I'm not a perfectionist!
My plan is to do a loopy meandering in light grey thread. I'm going to use purple fabric for the binding (either Kona Crocus or Jewels in purple from the 1001 Peeps line by Lizzy House.) For the backing I am going to use the Scherazade print in purple from the 1001 Peeps line. It's a print of purple stars so it's perfect!
The quilt top measures about 66" by 75". Each star is 6" square and the sashing is 3" wide. Pattern/fabric information is here.
