Well, the time has finally arrived when I can say that the crazy quilt block dedicated to my sister Barbara is finished. Now all I have to do is write about it in my Crazy Quilt Journal as I have with the other blocks.
.
You may have noticed that there are numerous "references" to flight, and if you noticed the uniform Barbara is wearing, you'll understand the reason why. There are also references to sewing which won't surprise anyone since the entire crazy quilt is about women and stitchery of one kind or another. The VW bus has its headlights, the little smocked dress is on its hangar, all seams have been covered, embellishments are stitched, and the caduceus is in place (in her time, one had to be a nurse to become a stewardess).
There are many other details which all gave me great delight to design and execute, but I am looking forward to starting the next block which will be one of the four seasons to be used as the cornerstones for the quilt.
It's a beautiful tribute to your sister and I can hardly wait to see it in person!
