Yesterday I finished the newest piece in the Grave Rubbing Quilt Series. Unfortunately, I forgot to snap a shot of the reverse which once was a card table/bridge tablecloth. The rubbing was made in the old Warstone Lane cemetery in Birmingham, England. Most of the linens and lace were from my "stash" (which is starting to dwindle! Yikes!) The two hand dyed pieces of lace were a gift from Linda Lynch. I hope she likes how I've put them to use!

Tomorrow Steve and I are off to Washington, DC. That's several wonderful hours to stitch on the next piece in this series!
Very nice. The detail, when you click to enlarge, is awesome. This is such a profound series.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Susan! I love how you used the lace pieces, they look lovely. I will send you some more, dyed in some light vintage colors if you like. Please send me your address! I want to gather my fabric and go visit the local cemetery.
