Folded on the back of a chair in the studio, this quilt has sadly watched me come and go through several creative phases, none of which included quilting. But with the rising temperatures, it’s time to throw off the down and throw on the lightweight cotton.
It’s made from thrifted fabric I found in Austin, Merrimekko prints and monoprints made last year.
After a quick, sweaty run and breakfast, we’re off to spend the day in San Francisco, where we can stay cool ride bikes. Here’s Chas, who just woke up. That means I need to hurry up and get out the door.
Happy morning! I’ll post better pictures later, when the light is coming into the room.
that is beautiful! great work- i have a hard time finishing really big projects
Wow, that’s really beautiful Steph. Looks light and still cozy and now I want one.
thanks, guys. And tonya, I’ve been pushed hard enough to start selling stuff over on etsy–I’ll keep you posted!
Oh, its beautiful!
And yes, I know the feeling of finishing big works…
Whats Merrimekko? Not Marimekko?
Ps. How did you know my eyeglasses? They really are Face to face!
Hey Elohigirl–Thank you!
Merrimekko is what bad spellers call Marimekko!
And I knew those were Face a Face glasses because I wear a pair, myself. They stay within a certain framework so I can spot them easily
Oh, its Marimekko. Its lovely to see Finnish fabrics abroad!
Mari means a girls name and mekko means a dress. By the way
lovely!
thanks Mollie
