The Spirited Quilters of Duluth had a stitch in today, and I worked on the 2009 mystery challenge that should have been completed in December. I spent the year collecting brown and beige fabric for the quilt that was supposed to represent Egypt and not really stitching any of it, so today I cut and stitched brown/beige fabric together for 5 hours. I completed enough stitching for 5 rows of 36 pyramids (currently stitched in groups of 3). That makes 180 pyramids. The quilt calls for 1000. At this point, I need a nap. I don't know when this quilt will ever get finished, but I am calling it "Good Earth" or "Good Dirt," since that is what the brown stuff under my work boots
is for goodness sake! (I like it best vertical, don't you?)
