A Day at the Museum
No stitching this week due to surgery and a lot of laying about. BUT I have a plan and your invited to travel to Mulhouse in Alsace with me and see the beginnings of my idea.
Arriving after an early start by train.
Stroll across the canal to the Museum of Printed Textiles
A day learning to use wooden blocks from the museum's collection.
Making choices and getting ready to print
A wonderful lunch prepared by Celine. The young artist who helped me with the adventure. We even used dinnerware designed for the museum.
Lots more printing Celine adding a couple more in empty spaces. I was worn out by now.
Two meters of quilters muslin printed with blocks from the textile museum. After lunch I realised I would cut up this fabric so trying to get edges to meet wasn't necessary. I just enjoyed the printing.
My plan I am going to use this small piece of printing for the center of a medallion quilt. Progress reports to come.
My day of printing at the museum was wonderful. As quilters we all have our own stories about our quilts and this is a story that will return many time over.
Have a good weekend where ever you are. Terry

What a wonderful day! That printed panel looks perfect for a medallion quilt.

Terry, we are all sending you our love and wishes for a speedy recovery. You have been on my mind all week and hope you are feeling better and stronger every day.
So happy to see you posting! And oh Mulhouse! :)

What a wonderful post!! Those designs are so pretty. I love your idea of a medallion quilt. It's lovely seeing all the pots of colourful plants in your photos. That's something I really loved about Europe.
And it almost goes without saying that I hope your recovery is going well. Take care of yourself Terry.
