From Shred to Slice
I temporarily abandoned my thread shredding adventure with Saw Tooth Star to work on a slice quilt that is due, gasp, next week. One of the art groups I am a part of, Quartz, is taking a Wayne Thiebaud painting (with permission) and a group of 4 of us is each doing a slice (section) of […]
