quilted petticoat

Okay I officially have all the peices so I can begin my diary for the Quilted Petticoat I'm going to make.

Here's the plan:

I bought lovely pink silk twill from work for the fashion fabric
Cream wool from Jomar for the lining
and Mom bought me 100% wool batting from a specialty quilting shop near molly
I also go 100% silk thread to do the quilting.

I'm going to hand quilt the whole thing off a petticoat in the colonial williamsburgh book.  Tonight I'm going to review my construction plans so tomorrow on my day off I can start graphing out the design.

The goal is to have this finished by christmas so this winter Amy and I can go down to Williamsburgh and wear our pretty winter clothing. Barring that I'll be hitting up downtown philly.

Off I go!
