Inspired by Carla

I was inspired by Carla's post yesterday to try some string pieced arcs.

I have a set of Double Wedding Ring templates I've been wanting to use,

so I traced the arcs on copy paper

and string pieced bits of hand dyed fabrics

from a goodie bag my mother gave me.

Here are four arcs waiting to be trimmed.

I've made 13 so far

and I've got lots of hand dyed strings and strips left to use.

Thanks for the inspiration!

I've been wondering if it is time to wrap up this blog,

but it seems we just had a long holiday break.

Thanks to all of you for stringing along.

We have room for more blog contributors,

so if you see some great string quilts out there,

ask their makers to check us out

and send me an email at strings[at]mts[dot]net to join.
