The first thing to sell was this iPad case. I structured the pattern for it off of the iPad case that Lauren made for me when she and Teri were visiting for Spring Break. Right after this one sold I was visiting with one of the other Board Members of TAF and when she indicated that she would like a Black and Gold iPad case (she works in Development at Purdue so it makes sense) I agreed to make her another one - so that is 2 sales!
Here is the iPad case that Lauren made for me. We started out that she was going to make me a small case for my cell phone - but when she found this wonderful rose fabric we had to make something larger to show off the design so and iPad case it was.
The next piece to sell was this wall hanging titled "Wine Explosion." The fabrics are all ones that I had dyed.
This one is from a whole cloth - again hand dyed. As I stitched it the butterfly design emerged on it.
This one is larger - it is a lap quilt size. The fabrics are all hand dyed. I had 2 spirals that I cut apart and alternated the pieces to create the dynamic effect. I really like these colors so if this quilt does not sell I will be pleased to keep it for myself.
Two more quilts:
This quilt is one that I started in June 2010 during the Ricky Tims Retreat to show the rest of the group how to make this easy and stunning pattern. We have decided that it will be shared amongst the members of the group that were in La Veta last summer and so now that it is finished I sent it to Julie in Colorado to be the first person to enjoy it.
This quilt will be a signature quilt for Purdue President France Cordova. Monday is the final Purdue Senate meeting that she will be at and I will present her with the quilt then. I will then pass it around to have all of the senator sign on the yellow strips. Then once I have the signatures I will quilt it. I am always pleased how the shading of gold to black is so effective.
