Our Cranes Quilts Update

Good Day,

Labels have been created for all Cranes Quilts. Next on the agenda - sleeves, Spectrum shade orientation, hangers, and write-ups.

Here's hoping my PC will hold up, between crashes of my graphic card.

Our tally of Cranes Quilts that will be included in our Hope Project - 50 quilts and 1 coat

40 Quilts in the Cranes Spectrum - Jim and Andy

9 Cranes Quilts - Jim and Andy

1 Hand Sewn Cranes Quilt - Madhu Mathur

1 Crane Coat - Marijke van Welzen, Jim and Andy

We're counting the number of Cranes. Looks like we're closing in on about 1,300.

Mark your calendars for January 12 at the Octagon Arts Center in Clearwater.

And there is a ton more things to get done before January 10.

Our Hope - Cranes Quilts - Project Update

Good Day,

We're getting a wee bit antsy. It is Our Hope - Cranes Quilt - Project.


Andy and I started with our initial idea about 1 year ago. We have completed more than 50 Cranes Quilts including the Cranes Spectrum.

Set up for the initial showing of is set for January 10. Our Hope Project will begin its showing at the Octagon Arts Center in Clearwater on Saturday, January 12. (More details will follow)

We've decided to change our tactics in creating and constructing our final quilt - The Mon-ster Crane. (That's just a name we're using for now.)

Instead of fabric and strip piecing we're now using appliqué. Not sure if that technique will work., but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

We are only using 2 fabrics choices to create our Monster Crane Quilt, the image and white, of course.

And there is a ton more things to get done before January 10.
