Sewing Quilts

My youngest daughter was watching Project Runway the other day and said she would like to learn how to design clothes that looks like fun. So I got my Grandmothers old machine out and we made a Cape. It did not take long before it turned into work and that is something she is not accustom to ha ha.It is tedious and time consuming. And even tho she has more patience than most people her age. Not when it comes to this kind of work. But me on the other hand this is close to painting wielding carpentry its a lot like doing ceramic tile work or Laying brick cut little pieces and put them together. And with my COPD I don't have to smell paint fumes or wielding fumes or saw dust or cement dust. Its a lot easier on my lungs. So here  is a quilt I made the other day .I constructed it out of old work shirts mostly from when I was a wielding. Some pieces have little holes from the splatter of the rods. I made a few quilts last month but I think I am done. Now the weather is warm I can go out side and paint.  I am going to do a lot more paints using the mud colors this Summer.........
