maranoni: Hand quilting the stitchy details.

maranoni: In case you're wondering how all the random bits came together. Improvised quilts are open-ended puzzles, and assembling them gives me the best thrill!
maranoni: My giant quilt top from last Fall still needs to be quilted and bound
maranoni: The middle guy came from an embroidered silk shirt that I had lying about for a few years. Happy he's now got a cozy new home.
maranoni: Pulled from my bug phase days. I make most things using stitches that are worked at the same angle inside small areas, producing a smooth finished surface---known as a satin stitch.
maranoni: It's the first quilting project I completed, so it holds a bit of pride. Quilting and binding it was horrifying without any experience (and patience) back then, but it got done--then gifted to the one I love.

maranoni: my sunday so far: quick progress on a new quilt for myself.
maranoni: I respect independent jewelry makers, but it would take some crazy act of nature to lure me back. I'm happy simply digging through the files, mistakes, and rewards // 2010
