How Time Flies!

I cannot believe it has been a week since my last post. How do other people write every day? I bet they are all retired or sneak in posts at work.

As of this date only one person knows about my secret site. I don’t know if I will ever post my blog, or keep it a secret. I think I am doing this as an online journal, but who knows.

I have been working on this:

It is from Quilting With Style, my all time most favourite quilt magazine that is now kapoot. But I am fickle and my new favorite magazine is Quilting Arts.

Anyway, this thing is called “Pythagoras' Lute” because this is the actual mathematical expression of this equation. I could care less. I just like the pattern. Or I did until I started piecing the damn thing.

Here is what I have so far:

Not bad, I guess. I have been working on this for 2 years. Last month I dusted it off and decided to wok on it one hour a day—minimum—to get it done. I am so happy I did that! Now to piece it and quilt it. That is the easy part to me, so here goes!

BTW—this is all hand-dyed fabric using ‘cracked ice’. A friend in the USA sent me a bolt. I really wish I could get another bolt of this great fabric to dye. Here are my samples:

These are a mixture of Dharma and G&S procion dyes.
