Now for the foundational joy! - work has begun on the crazy quilt journal project for 2014 ....
having learned from the participants in CQJP2013, thank you Margaret :) , that making the 12 blocks at the beginning helps a lot ...
I searched for a foundation upon which to start building the blocks... I have fabric but lacked a foundation, a base of colors, shades, etc......
I purchased 8 step gradations of hand dyed cotton squares in coffee...and received the lovely package of neatly cut, pressed, washed and hand dyed fabric...
all ready to SEW!
A foundation of colors and piecing right in hand! ♥♥♥ Their selection of hand dyed fabric is beautiful and wonderful to build upon for a quilt, crazy quilt, textile art - :D They have all colors, and lovely batik too...& die cut/pre cuts!
What a difference having these pretty squares, all cut, washed, beautifully hand-dyed, has made - I can begin working from a steady foundation, and it has helped me focus on the task at hand; having a view of the future (completion at the end of the year), and a view of the blocks as they are embroidered and illustrated one by one over the coming weeks and months... stay tuned :)
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 1 corinthians 3:11
Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together. isaiah 48:13
