What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

It's crumpled.

It hasn't been damp stretched...ever.

I created this piece for a specific space in my home, a sofa which gets a lot of wear.

As I was embroidering the cloth and piecing the patchwork flowers I was convincing myself....this is the piece that will go in the washing machine.

Now I have to decide what to do with regards to the ...

 A new panel for an old wrapping cloth.I say old, maybe I should say unfinished.This piece has been a very slow burner.A new panel was pieced in class earlier this week with pleated cloth, a little vintage scrap and a piece of very old handkerchief.
