The other day at my book club fellow reader Linda asked me what I had been doing lately, and when I answered I am working on a new wall quilt, her eyes lit up and you could see more questions forming about the design, the size, and so on.  She’s been to my exhibitions here, so has seen my work in the past.  When I answered the next couple of questions with ” Well, I’m using permanent marking pen on silver mylar to then cut into pieces and attach to a very shiny plastic-like fabric… ” she began to look puzzled, and I don’t blame her.  In the many hours I’ve spent so far I have wondered the same myself.

In contrast Jackie, sitting on the other side of me, calmly said “I’d love to see it when you’re finished …”

I am very tempted to name this piece as Richard McVetis does some of his – using the total of hours and minutes spent to make it.  So far I guess I’m at around 25:25 perhaps – and only just getting started.  However it does fit with another group of recent quilts, and I think it will be named to be in that group.
