Back in the Game

I've started up quilting again- now that my house is somewhat in order and nothing is too pressing that I can't get a little sewing done in between.  My first project is a quilt for Shari.  She was my choreographer for both the musicals I did at Lemoyne.  She's fabulous at what she does and we worked really well together, so it was a win-win situation.  I'm going to miss working with her.  I meant to make a quilt for her earlier, but during the actual musical there's only time for the musical itself and just about nothing else, so I'm finally getting around to it. 

I'm using some of the left over material from the actual costumes of Once on This Island to make it a little more meaningful for her, but Shari's a very classy person and tropical themed decor is not exactly her style, so I'm going to try to mute the island garb by bringing in some darker materials - one having Treble Clefs on it - keeping with the whole music theme and do a Basket-weave design alternating the costume materials every other block.  We'll see how it turns out.  My goal is to have it done by the time I leave for Utah in 2 weeks.  Wish me luck!
