The stitching is complete on this:
Mozart looks happy, doesn't he? I would like to think that he would be pleased with my tribute to him!
I'll assemble this next week when I have some free time. Michael's carries beaded gold purse handles so I need to run up there for a pair.
Also next week, I plan to start work on the antique crazy quilts. My sweet mom was at Hobby Lobby earlier this week and she bought some fabrics for me that will work nicely to replace some of the damaged pieces. I need to pick up some #8 perle cottons in a variety of colors. I usually use #5 on my CQ's but my antique CQ is worked with finer threads.
Quick question for you: Does anyone have any clue as to when varigated threads were introduced? I was looking at my commission quilt and there are varigated threads on there. If I could find out when shaded threads started showing up, it would help me to "ballpark" date that quilt.
Ok everyone, I'll be away from my computer now until Tuesday, May 22nd. We're off to Galena, Illinois for the weekend and this time, I hope to see the "Field Of Dreams" movie set in Iowa!!!
Have a great weekend everyone. I'll see ya on Tuesday!
Pedal to the floor!

Why not e-mail/call DMC? Pull the "I'm a Designer" card out and they might answer you. ;-)

Oops, I have been perusing your blog for so long that I can't remember how I found you...but my name is Kellogg, too! I really enjoyed reading about your Mozart thing...
