Priscilla's Workshop

The Yellow Rose quilt was completed today. My husband laughs when I say it is the color of Gulden's mustard but that's what it reminds me of. This whole series of odd color quilts has one very big bonus--the blood stains don't show. Somehow or other I usually prick a finger or even other body parts either sewing or basting the quilts. I do spot clean when that happens and I learned a long time ago when my youngest son had a problem with varicose veins in his nose that Windex is great for blood stains. Still it is nice not to have to worry.

 

  The quilt was still a little damp when we pinned it up and the light doesn't show the fairly elaborate quilting to best advantage but it is done. I used the blue/light blue print that is on the bottom of the basket for the binding so the colors are either Go Navy! or Anassa Kata, kalo kalay ia ia ia Nike! At Bryn Mawr they cheer in ancient Greek. There are some areas with seed stitch stippling.
