This one happens to be about 14 feet long. When I received this, all the fruits/veggies had been sewn on, but it was being held together as a big quilt sandwich by about a gazillion straight pins.
The wind was blowing when I took these photos, but the big lettering at the top says "May All Be Fed." My job is to get this in finish-order and stabilized so that it may be transported from workshop to workshop.
At the moment, it has been deconstructed a bit and I am handbasting it in big lightening-strike stitches, my main aim to simply make it more stable so I can figure out how best to quilt it.
It is unweldy and crazy heavy and the best place I've found to work on it is to drape it across our breakfast bar. I love doing jobs like this - I kind of like working on something that so many other hands have... well, had a hand in. I'll take more detail pictures tomorrow.
Anyway, listening to Graceland on my iPod while I stitch -- I was feeling Paul Simon-ish. --cds
