Dreaming of Dahlias, but not Miss Congeniality!

I finished quilting "Dreaming of Dahlias" the other day and I'm pretty pleased with the outcome:


While quilting her, I was trying to decide upon a binding. I'm fairly certain I will use a very narrow black silk border. I've pinned her up (yeah, she's a pinup girl!) on top of a piece of black fabric on my design wall, so we all can take a peek. What do you think? Do you like the black binding?



A few days ago I prepared another screen for some more deconstructed screen printing. This time I used ferns and here's the screen I got:

Yesterday afternoon I did the deconstruction. This first pic is a bit out of focus, but squint your eyes as best you can and take a look:

I am so amazed at the color! Can you see the fern laying sideways in the left part of the panel?

Here's my second draw across the screen:

Of course, I had chosen my beloved turquoise for the the dyed print paste in the latter draws...and I it thrills me, as usual!

Oh, and one more thing and then I'll let you get on with your own life: if you haven't read Maureen Dowd's hysterically funny editorial in yesterday's NY Times, here it is! C and I were practically rolling on the floor she had us laughing so hard. Warning: Palinistas may not appreciate this humor, so don't look if you can't take the heat!


PEACE, HOPE & NO PALIN!
