More Strings . . . And Won't You Join In?
Well, somebody several people pointed out that strings were addictive and oh, dontcha hate it when the multitudes prove to be right?
To the left is the second set of string blocks that I made from the second bag of Julie's string left-overs. I'd taken the first bag and added to them and made my first string project earlier this week. The strings were not from my palate at all, and I called the project Sophisticated Strings. And I loved the results. The blocks are all put together now and waiting to be finished later this month. This second one is more my usual color range, and I think of it as Sweet Strings. Both projects will be either tied or machine quilted and given to my Circle's current charity project, a grass roots agency to help under-resourced new mothers and their babies.
And here's what's left from my plunge into the world of string quilts: Two bags, both containing some of Julie's and some of mine, one batch "sweet" and the other "sophisticated." Friends, I really need them outta here so I can return to my regularly scheduled programming. So my thought is to pass them along to one of you who has been thinking of joining the string phenomenon (here Near Philadelphia we would be inclined to say the "string band," but that's kind of an inside sort of thing). Would you like these strings for your very own? Would you maybe think about adding to them and then passing them along yet again? Leave me a comment and tell me whether you've strung before or whether your a newbie. This has to happen fast -- a post office run for other purposes is scheduled for Monday afternoon. So leave your comment, and on Sunday night I'll draw a name in the hope of getting the address in time for that there post office run.
