I got so caught up in making my “Orphaned Woods” words yesterday, that I forgot to take a photo of my wool quilt, Shirts and Skirts.
I’ve never worked with wool in this way before, but I like sewing it and the challenge of making all those plaids fit together without being too much.
I still have lots of wool left and I’m thinking of making some wool potholders. Wool is a great insulator, and even more fire resistant than cotton. I’ve even used it as batting in my potholders and it works as good as the insulated batting I buy.
Jenn bought Shirts and Skirts for her husband. She bought another of my other quilts and her husband liked it so much she thought she’d get him one of his own.
“Shirts and Skirts” bigger than most of my quilts by 5 or 10 inches all around. I put it on the guest bed to run a lint roller over it and it looked so different to me. The colors popped and receded even more.
Tomorrow I’ll send it to its new home.
