Crazy Quilt Dossier: 6.24 Needle Weaving

 I covered up the Harris Tweed (next to the Old Faithful patch).

It was a scrap from a sport coat that I made for the wasbund senior year at Otis.
Lisa twinned with me, for her husband Tim. (I wonder if he still has his?)
During the project, we learned hand tailoring techniques.
That jacket was like armor! Not really suitable for the SoCal climate.

Anyway...

The needle weaving totally covered it.

The Boss finally made his appearance:

I used aa plaid that I designed for Bridgeport lounge pants

and

a Spoonflower Fluegog Bahiana print strikeoff

Done!

Crazy Quilt Dossier: 6.22 Visible Mend

 

Begone damn spot!

That stain was driving me nuts.
It was at the top edge of the quilt and I saw every time I was in bed.

A nice little visible mend.

Details:
I want to mention the "flag" bark cloth print above the mend.
This came from a vintage skirt that I purchased in Providence circa 1979-81.
The patch came from excess when I shorted the hem.
Though it no longer fits, I still have the skirt, somewhere in the giant mending bag.
I like the print too much to release it.
