No progress on my quilt at all. In fact I had to take a step back. I started, as directed, with strip #12, ran thru #20 fine. Put on 11, and then couldn't figure out 10. That's where I left it last night. Probably stared at the book and quilt for an hour. Repeated this evening, to finally figure out that # 11 was just wrong. I'd placed it wrong and had to rip it out - not an easy or fun experience. And the strip can't be re-used. Replaced #11 with a new #11, correctly this time. But to find out - after stitching - that my cutting was off too much. This strip is only 3/4" wide, add 2 1/4" seam allowances and there isn't much room for error. So ripped that one out, and cut 2 new ones. Didn't try to sew it on, figured I'd had enough for one night. But ARRGGG! Maybe tomorrow night.
In other news... I'm looking for "loosely woven hairy mohair - a fashion fabric" (I think that may be debatable - the fashion part). I need it for the Kenneth King class in Novi in a couple of weeks. But I (a) don't know what this stuff is or (b) where to get any. G Street? I should call them tomorrow. Michaels? He has lots of stuff. Any ideas?

Beebee I think my mother had a shawl or cape of what could be described as loosely woven hairy mohair. I wonder what happened to it. It was violent shades of red and orange and fringed. Very early 70's. (shudder)
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should send KK an email. He has his own website.
I don't suppose you still have that moth-eaten hairy mohair garish scarf, do you? KK didn't specify a color. I took your advise and sent KK an email. We'll see what happens.
ReplyDeleteDoh- I hope the quilt gets fixed! That's so frustrating to have to rip the same thing out more than once. Good luck :(
