Ark Curtain Part II

Many of you have been asking me how the ark curtain is coming. For a while I could not answer that question.  Now,  I am happy to say that it is coming along well.  I finished the right half today and put the 2 sides together.
 Ta Da! 
I am thrilled with how it has turned out, so far.  The silk has such a beautiful sheen.
It measures 75" high x 64" wide

 I really needed my deodorant as I squared up each side before I put them together.  I could not have done it without these pattern maker weights.


I don't remember who gave me to me, but I had two.  I knew one day they would come in handy for something.  They are deceptively heavy and they did not budge as I pulled and tugged the curtain.

I made the decision to give it to my friend,  Barb Persing for quilting.  She is an award winning long arm quilter.  I think this piece deserves the type of creative quilting that she can do.

  4. This turned out fantastic, Cheryl! Can't wait to see what the quilting adds to it. When I click on the image and it enlarges on my screen, larger than the screen, then scroll up and down, I can feel the successful effect of the rays spreading out. Cool!
