Our Mistake

I had a lot of help from one of my studio assistants getting the facings, sleeve and label hand-sewn onto the Our Mistake I was finishing for Stretching Art & Tradition. 

Korben was really on alert and we had a little fight about who got to use the needle (eek!)

 Here's the final look at the whole quilt with the facings stitched down.

I like the look of this view of the bottom part of the quilt, it looks like a scenic postcard to me.

And a close up of the boat being dissolved in the acid lake.

The word window picture frame worked out as I was hoping. The title and the words in the window come from an essay written after the November election by Rebecca Solnit.

All four of the corners cooperated for once.

As per usual I looked up the ever so helpful Jeri Riggs facing method page for assistance.

And now it's off in the mail winging its way across the country in time  to be in the 25th Stretching Art & Tradition exhibit at the Mancuso show - Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival in Virginia.
