Retirement Quilt Commission

I was contacted by a Family Practice Doctor who wants a Retirement Quilt for one of her nurses. This nurse has been with her for 23 years and she wants something very special to commemorate their partnership. Here are the beginning stages of her quilt.

Patched Drapes Finished

The Patched Drapes for my Studio are Finished!  Big project.  Love the Shabby Chic look.  They are exactly what I wanted.  It's so liberating to make this space suit me.

Patched Drapes (2nd Panel)

Sewing continues on the 2nd Panel of the Patched Drapes.  

Adding in the laces and shiny fabrics really changes the look of the surface.  Love the 'shabby chic' look of this project.

Have out of town guests coming this weekend so my goal is to have the drapes hung by Friday.
