It was gratifying to see the number of quilters who responded with offers of similar fabrics. But I already had similar fabrics and was holding out for THE one. Along the way I followed all of the leads and even ordered a few that I thought might work as it became apparent that the right one was not going to surface. The one on the left is the one I wanted and the others are possibilities. But they are mostly lighter in color than what I wanted. The current trend with the blues is less grayed than the one I was looking for, But the white dog contains some beige-y blues so maybe these will be even better.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ruthpowersartquilts.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/insteadfabric.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2319\" alt=\"insteadfabric\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ruthpowersartquilts.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/insteadfabric.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ruthpowersartquilts.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/insteadfabric.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.ruthpowersartquilts.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/insteadfabric-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thanks again to all who tried to help!!<\/p>\n<p>So now, I guess I am ready to carry on and reconnect with the cutting and sewing using the fabrics that I have. With my luck, once I cut and sew the &#8220;right&#8221; one will come along!!<\/p>\n<p>In the interim I have been busy with tax prep, designing some new work and hand quilting on the Oak and Acorn quilt. I have entered some more shows and shipped some more quilts.<\/p>\n<p>My contract for teaching a five day Picture Piecing Design workshop at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emptyspoolsseminars.com\">Empty Spools<\/a>, Asilomar a year from now has arrived. So for those of you who are intrigued with this process, I hope you will consider signing up for that. It will be a wonderful place to spend a week in February 2014!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I really did think that someone, somewhere would know where some of that Wheat batik was when I posted it to the QuiltArt list with thousands of members.
