My Atlas WIP (work in progress)


Well, this is my WIP. I feel like Atlas holding up the world. And I must say my hardest challenge ever. I've been working on it (on and off) for about 8 months and it is just inching along. It was supposed to be a Christmas present for my Dad.....then it was supposed to be ready when my Mom and Dad came for a visit March 1st.... well, maybe before they leave at the end of April. I took an online class at Quilt University and the technique is by Marilyn Belford. I got held up at the beginning of thread painting. I didn't want to ruin it. A brilliant quilter asked if my father would notice if I ruined it... so I began threadpainting immediately. Now I'm stuck on the quilting. I'm waiting for the quilt muse to land on my shoulder.
