Months 4-5:\u00a0 As the larger composition takes shape, I am challenged to find \u2013 or create \u2212 the ideal bridge fabrics. I spend as much time searching for fabrics, cutting single pieces from specific fabrics, or painting, stamping, or shopping for the missing pieces.\u00a0 I am still teaching, traveling, packing and shipping my teaching equipment from place to place. This process takes a while because I am also teaching others how to make quilts!<\/p>\n

Months 6-7:\u00a0 When working high on the wall, my step stool and I get a workout! I eventually shift from a step stool to a ladder, and add another 18″ to the top of the design wall. The loose pieces are currently overlapped,\u00a0and I know that\u00a0sewing the\u00a0seams will cause shrinkage. (This photo was taken later in the project \u2013 this was a tall project with lots of\u00a0 “ladder time”!)<\/p>\n

Month 8: Once I am happy with all of the fabrics, then I begin sewing diagonal rows of fabric diamonds. I keep the rows in manageable sizes, working one row at a time. Climb the ladder,\u00a0secure all the loose pieces\u00a0edge-to-edge, climb\u00a0down, sew the seams, press, climb the ladder and re-position the pieced row. Continue to the next row. An audio book can be my best friend during this process!\u00a0<\/p>\n
