This beautiful silk gown debuted in 1998, worn by Emily Mortimer as Kat Ashley in 𝑬𝒍𝒊𝒛𝒂𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒉.   When the costume returned in HBO’s 𝑬𝒍𝒊𝒛𝒂𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒉 𝑰 in 2005, where it was worn by Charlotte Asprey as Frances Walsingham, the front of the bodice had been significantly altered. A richly decorated stomacher or appliqué appears to have covered the original bodice, but the gown’s distinctive skirt fabric unmistakably reveals its identity. A closer look also shows the original red piping still peeking out around the bodice—an excellent example of how costumes are adapted and refreshed for later productions.   This gown has gone on to appear in several more productions over the years.

mini quilt ideas for kona coty “wander” (medium-dark grass green?)

a progression of ideas

the rebirth of mothra trilogy is on netflix so i have an appliqué companion

appliquéd / new layer

next layer

bitches love layers

a point has been reached. this is about 22x22” and it needs to be 18” to 20” square. thinking about how to put more of the medium green (the kona color of the year) in it

might move them around or make a real big one for one of the corners

i’ve been trimming the centers away to reduce bulk and weight, and the backs look fun

islanding it up. only have to do one more round on the smallest one and then i can rearrange them on the big piece and baste them in place. stitch stitch stitch. (i made the biggest one well after i started on all the others, so rearrangement is necessary)

blobbing

quilting now. today was brought to you by one episode of taskmaster s15 and all of the jane eyre miniseries from like 2006

most of my recent nights have been 1-2 taskmasters (we’re on s14 rn) and 1-2 hours of audiobooks. the focus green will be left unquilted (and therefore puffy). making it to the little blobs inside really feels like the end is in sight!!

still have to make a label and add a hanging sleeve. our guild’s challenge quilts will be hanging in a small special exhibition at the pennsylvania national quilt extravaganza in september.
