I spent today preparing the fabric background for the next one &#8211; I stitch in guide lines which later come out &#8211; I use gutermans&#8217; Skala in grey &#8211; a multi filament polyester thread that is very easy to just pull out later)  and I also did a fair bit of silver waxing various pieces of black leather  ( in the pic here, the leathers directly above and to the left of the bright gold have been waxed over with metallic gold &#8211; and I just love the subdued effect counterfoiling the more brassy golds)   I have found some black leathers with different textures, and they produce nice varied textures to be included along with the lovely grey suede which has wet-looking blobs scattered on it &#8211;  it begged me to take it off the shelf last time I was in Australia and I have been thinking about it, over under round and through, these past 6 months.  Today was the day to cut and start doing something with it.   There will be silvery grey  thread quilting as far as I can tell from this end of the project, and the back ground fabric I was thrilled to find in the US last week, a kind of mustardy-pistachio greeny-yellow &#8211; perhaps greyed-down canola kind of colour.  Sort of lufthansa\/commonwealth bank of australia colour scheme&#8230;. but totally different shapes for the repeat pattern this time.    Photos eventually &#8211; my policy being to never show an entire quilt until it has been either sold or successfully juried in to an exhibition of major importance somewhere.&nbsp;<a href='http:\/\/picasa.google.com\/blogger\/' target='ext'><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/photos1.blogger.com\/pbp.gif\" alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Detail of my latest quilt, finished just before I headed off up to the US to help DD move house. and while there in colorado I had the latest quilts photographed by Deidre Adams, who I am happy to say did a great job for me.
