June 28, 2012 Backing & Edging This is a shot of the edging and backing from my treasured childhood quilt made by my mother. As I am now 49 and the quilt was made when I was almost 2, it has some age on it. The fabrics used on the quilt had mostly already seen one life. This edging and backing was made from animal feed sacks (my grandparents were farmers). I hope this image is used in the upcoming ebook quilt anthology that I am participating in.
June 27, 2012 This is another quilt square from my treasured childhood quilt made by my mother. As I am now 49 and the quilt was made when I was almost 2, it has some age on it. Additionally, the squares were made from fabrics that many of which had already seen one life. This square was probably from a remnant section of a fabric store that my mother and her grandmother used to frequent. It was the fabric from which dishtowels were made and used at my grandparents' house as my mother and her siblings were growing up. I hope this square is used in the upcoming ebook quilt anthology that I am participating in.
June 26, 2012 Quilt belongs to family of W. Gray McPherson, Snow Camp, NC Today's image is in preparation for a quilt anthology soon to be released - I will give you details as I have them, but it will be sold in ebook format, and benefit the Twilight Wish Foundation. Some of my images and a piece I wrote will be in it. This is another view of the quilt close up I posted a few weeks ago http://www.kdstewart.net/Whats-New/Images-from-2012-dailies/21342710_3FH6pv#!i=1883296449&k=xD2FL2X In this shot, you can see the age of the quilt (torn, discolored) and also see the date that was stitched into it when it was made. This quilt belongs to a friend's family and they kindly let me use it for the anthology.
