Well here is my row for our guild's first row robin...a few liberated baskets.Below is a peak at a present I am making, and to kill 2 birds with one stone, it will also work for my calendar challenge...My calendar challenge started with words in a hat and make a small, roughly 12x12 inch piece from those words...but I have too much on my plate to do that on a regular basis...so any original piece I make that is that size will do...
Anyway, this is a gift for creator Jeff Lemire who will be doing a signing at our store in February...it is an applique piece based on the cover of his comic Sweet Tooth #1 and the crow in his Essex County Trilogy. Why a wallhanging? Well, there is a character that quilts in his Essex County book so I am hoping he will appreciate the gesture, and I had this red plaid that shouts out "Gus!"
I am so looking forward to his visit to our store, I think Essex County is The Great Canadian Graphic Novel!
Where did you get the plaid from? I'm got exactly the same in my stash.
ReplyDeleteI hope he enjoys his quilt. It's lovely.
