Nine thrifted shirts and a technique I made up myself (but probably isn’t original) and I’m almost finished with this piece I’m calling “Storm at Oxford.” It’s machine pieced and big stitch hand quilted with variegated #8 perle cotton and measures 42”x48” […] [Original post on toot.community]

A quilt composed of squares containing various shades of blue and gray creating a swirling pattern radiating out from a light blue circle. Heavy hand-stitched lines mimic and emphasize the swirls of the piecing. Colors do not align and create a secondary squared pattern atop the swirls.

Closeup of squares of curved piecing showing the large stitches

Closeup of the blue, oxford cloth circle made of four quarter circles showing the slightly rippling surface of the cloth

Closeup of a sample/test piece made before the quilt showing a quarter circle of oxford cloth. A cluster of French knots have been embroidered on the oxford in white and a closely-matching light blue

For no reason whatsoever, I’m reminding you that before the US invaded Iraq in 2003, the Bush administration said that Iraq’s oil revenue would fund everything. www.meforum.org/middle-east-...

On March 27, 2003, for example, Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz said that Iraq’s oil revenues could bring between US$50 and $100 billion within two or three years following the country’s liberation. “We’re dealing with a country that can really finance its own reconstruction, and relatively soon,” he said.
