pillow fabric



I quilt for an interior designer... she brings me beautiful, expensive fabrics, we pick out appropriate threads and then I quilt the fabric. This is a deep peach dupioni silk. I have to be careful that I make no mistakes. Well, at least mistakes that don't need to be frogged. If I rip out the threads, it will leave big ugly rips in the fabric. I've quilted a large meander onto the silk, and have feathered one side. Monday I will quilt the other side of the meander. The entire piece is 56"x108" to make four pillows.
This is tedious work, and yet I enjoy it. It would be better with a shoulder massage now and then. And looking at the clock, I realize I haven't charged enough.
