I'm Going to Texas (version 2.0)
"The road goes on forever and the party never ends …" Robert Earl Keen
I have a cloth that I made back in 2017 during a mostly unsuccessful project …
The cloth measures about 40” x 54” and is composed of two harem cloth layers glue stitched onto one layer of linen (with thanks, as always, to Jude for her teaching) …
It’s just about the right size for E’s coverlet …
ideas for which are starting to take shape …
So I finished Remember 2021 and I finished Moon Myth. But I don’t honestly feel like finishing the family sampler right now.
Okay then … time to start a new project. And what better than the long-planned coverlet for Ellis to be made with pieces from some of her baby clothes (which were disassembled some time back) along with some gifted and purchased cloth …
As with P’s coverlet …
there will be several kinds of blocks to piece together. Nine-patches for sure, and random rows of cloth, and new for this time, half-log-cabin blocks. Sorta like this, I’m thinking …
Which means, now that I’ve tested this new-to-me pattern with non-Ellis clothing, it’s time to get started for real.
It’s not backed (yet), so Remember 2021 will rest here for a while …
where I can look at it from my stitching chair …
Next up: finishing Moon Myth.
