Is it HOT in Here? | ||||||||||||||
|
We create our quilts assembly line style. My primary job for the last couple years has been a cutter ... taking the fabric and cutting it into rectangles, which are then sewn into simple patterns for our quilts (the quilts all go to charity). Susan is the other primary cutter for the group. We stand side-by-side, cutting fabric, telling stories, teasing and laughing. All of a sudden, Susan will start peeling off her sweater and layer one of shirts. Then she'll cry out, "Is it HOT in here?" The rest of us look at her sideways and smile, "No hotter than usual ..." A few minutes later, Susan will be pulling her clothes back on. Ah, the beauty of another natural Power Surge! When I saw this chart, I just had to stitch it for Susan. Not only is it appropriate in sentiment, but Susan is one of the few folks I know that goes ga-ga over the color orange. Gotta love it!
I did the framing on this piece. I took apart an old picture frame, cut it down to size, glued it up, held it together with my newest framing tool/toy [Quick-Release Corner Framing Clamp], and spray painted it with a semi-flat finish. The polka dot border is ribbon. I like the way the ribbon sets off the design.
