GUESS WHAT.... we have pictures of the altar cloth!! Mary just forwarded a couple of pictures of the altar cloth she constructed and I quilted for the wedding of Rachel and Jake. This project was a lot of fun -- Mary pretty much gave me creative license on this project, which I love. No restrictions at all, just a few specific requests -- it was a great project and I am still honored to have been a part of it. Check out the previous altar cloth posts here and here for some details and history of this piece.

Here are a couple of pictures -- congratulations Rachel and Jake!

Apparently, I am turning into a weekly blogger - it has been a full week since my last post. BUT, I have been super busy with a special project. It belongs to Mary and will be used as an altar cloth at a very special wedding next month. The parament was designed especially for the bride and groom by their friend Gary Anderson, a Seattle artist (photo of his original is on the left).

Mary did a fantastic job in "recreating" the piece in fabric. To the right you'll see a picture showing her choice of fabrics and oh so perfect layout. You couldn't ask for a closer interpretation of the original.

Here are some pictures so far of the quilting I've been working on -- some initials, wordage, and loads of background fills.
