Neither of us want to admit it, but one of the side effects of getting older, is that our body changes as well. Let's say gravity has more effect on it :-). This idea was the inspiration of this quilt (10"x20"). I used turqoise dyed rusted fabric for it. For the filling of the top parts I used an eco felt. It was the first time I used it and although I like the idea behind it - it is made from recycled plastic bottles - it was terrible to stitch through. The needle gummed up all the time, and the thread broke so many times that I lost counting. After a lot of struggling and saying lots of words I won't repeat here, it got finished. Title is 'Sagging boobies'.

Greet blog, what i seen here.
Wil,
Had to stop by after reading your VP blog page. Love the humour in this piece -- though I admit that the photo looks like fish scales...! Did you try a denim/jeans needle in your machine? That might help needling through that eco-felt...
