Three years or so ago while looking through the Crazy Quilt on line magazine I spotted several hussifs and fell in love with them. In preparation for Marcy Tilton's surface design workshop, I started the crazy quilt block. While at Design Outside the Lines, I silk screened some of the silk. When I came home from Taos, New Mexico, I made the patterns for the pockets and flaps and began the process of embroidering and sewing on each of the pieces. Yesterday, I sewed on the cording and attached the front to the back and today I did the last of the finishing work, sewing on the button and closing up the hole that I used to turn the piece right side out.
Gita, I know how long and hard you worked on this, and it was worth every minute! It's beautiful, and will become an heirloom in your family.
ReplyDeleteYour hussif is wonderful Gita. I love the inside with all the silk ribbon embroidery as much as the outside. Thanks for sending me a thank you...you made my day.
