2001 Nisqually earthquake hit. The quilt was made in response
to his discussion of his experiences during and after the
earthquake and addressed my feelings & reaction related to being
separated from him. The quilt top was designed using EQ4 and
completed in 2001. However, the back was made, quilt assembled
and finished in August 2010.

Something In
Red
Entered by:
Linda Thielfoldt
The
Quilted Goose, Troy, MI
Machine:
Longarm
Batting:
Tuscany Silk
Thread:
Superior Bottom Line & So Fine
Quilters Statement:
Jacket: McCall's 5759 Pants: My own design/draft. Red & black
silk dupioni fabric, a few beads, a few of my original quilting
designs and "Something In Red" was born. I love working with
silk and this garment was no exception. I love the fact that
the buttonholes are built in and did not have to be sewn after
the garment was completed. The jacket pattern cross over front
gave me some really great quilting space. Quilting motifs were
designed by me just for this garment.
