Tibbits Blue TieDye Quilt

Here's a joyous riot of colors in this quilt made for my husband's father and step-mother.  It features a lot of  fabrics from Keepin U N Stitches at Jay, Oklahoma and the centerpiece is one of my hand-dyed Kona panels.  I machine-stitched the strip pieces and applied custom machine quilting, including a few mysterious words in the stitching.... such as the fact that it was quilted on Solstice 2010.  If you are in this geographical area, rent the longarm machine at the quilt and fabric shop above, for about $10 an hour to do your very own machine quilting--- you can buy back and bat there, and run your backing seam.  Then Keepin U N Stitches will provide you with thread from their choice or you can bring your own tread and bobbins if you have something particularly unusual in mind. 

New Art Series

Dinner Napkin or Kitchen Towel

The good news about December is that it is my most productive month for Fluffy's Compleat Boutique.  The bad news is that I may not be able to write a daily blog.  I'll at least try to post a fiber art picture each morning, and I hope to be back in full swing with full blogs from time to time.  This morning's image is a dinner napkin.  I love to make these because they're perfectly flat and symmetrical so it is possible to get a lot of feathery dye migration.  This one is going with 4 other different ones of various styles, to an Etsy customer.  I'm also making some for Oklahoma Food Co-op customers and as giveaways for the workers at OFC Central Processing in OKC.
