WIPW - Writing

This is a Work In Progress Wednesday report.


Log Cabin Challenge - Label and Name

All along I worked on the Log Cabin quilt


I just called it the 'Log Cabin Challenge'. Every week, as I was about to report on the progress I though I should give the quilt a name. I never did, not even after the quilt was completed in December last year.

In a sense I am glad I didn't find a suitable name for it at that time. It was not until I had hung it on the wall beside the daybed and the sun came into the room that I saw the effect of the light. The sun played with the various shades of aqua, the 'hearth' of gold in the centre of each block, and all the Herringbone quilting done in gold metallic thread. The quilt was beautiful in all light, but really at its best in the morning. I am therefore delighted to give it the name Morning Glory.

I have started on the label. After writing the text with a black felt tip pen I began stitching the text with Quaker Stitch in black. Later I will work some metallic into the text, and appliqué a single log cabin block. More progress next Wednesday.


Sunday Stitch School Stitch Sampler
I switched from circles to lines, and used three linear stitches: #10 Japanese Darning, #15 Open Chain Stitch and #77 Tied Herringbone Stitch.
More linear stitches will be added next week.

    I'm so glad it has a name at last, and such an appropriate one!

    This label is worth the wait. It will be a great addition/finish for a beautiful quilt.

    Morning Glory is a good name, you're right!
    And I like the Japanese Darning Stitch, good photos showing the stitches at their best.
