Harvey Fierstein Instagram - 27 years ago today I surrendered. I’ve never had a moment’s regret about that.  From that day forward life’s been a jubilee of possibilities. Lucky lucky me.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - BoBo is getting ready for his first snow storm.  Well, when you are 10 weeks old, everything is a first.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - I’m so honored. These people are such idiots. This was twenty years ago. Get a life lady.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - She's my President!!!! 
I can't wait for America to discover what a great patriot she is and how much she has to offer the country.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Lea Michelle. A joy and inspiration in FUNNY GIRL.  Thrilled for her (and me). Must see it again before closing in 5 weeks.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Michael Urie and I at today's Broadway Flea Market. I did not get his autograph but, believe me, I've got his number!
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Forty years is a long time to be friends. I first met Chita when our beloved Ted Hook brought her to my dressing room following the first performance of TORCH SONG TRILOGY on Broadway. We spent the next decades roaming in and out of each others' lives the way you do with family. She taught me, not only how to behave in public, but to take psyllium husk every morning to be sure you are nice and empty at curtain time. To say I loved her is almost an insult to the deep connection I always felt when with her. And so, let me simply send my heart out to Lisa, Armando, Lola and Julio. And let me never forget her ever loyal Rosie! 
91 years is a great run for a Broadway legend but for a goddess....we could have worshipped her for a hundred more. Goodbye, my friend.
(Charlie, Chita, the quilt I made for her, and me)

Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Georgia sings as Charlie and I look on.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - A gorgeous day at the Bridgewater Country Fair supporting their volunteer fire department and 4H'ers and local artisans. I ate a pickle and bought a belt. Good times.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - I've been at the old machines again. Here's my latest. I was trying some new techniques. I constructed this as a "quilt as you go" and then went back and "Thread painted" the details on the women with my long arm machine. Lots of thread! It's around 90" x 100". 
What do you think?
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Been at the sewing machine again. A little calmer than my usual designs but cool and refreshing in this post-summer heat.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Sweet Joy Hermalyn visited yesterday and snapped this of me and the boys.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - This quilt is being auctioned off to benefit the theater where I began my adventure, LA MAMA ETC, at their annual dinner. We shot a piece today for that evening.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - in the company of dogs - where I couldn't be happier! Davis, his little sister Georgia, and Good Time Charlie.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Just completed this DAY OF THE DEAD quilt. I love every one of the fabrics even if I should have shown some restraint. So, to hold it all together, I added the purple border and quilted it with 4 DOTD snakes chasing one another around the quilt. The rest of the quilting is Sugar Skulls. Hard to see, but they are there!
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Davis and Charlie and me. We know how to stay cool in this weather. Wendy Modic shot this,
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Been at it again!!!! I love making these improvised quilts. I let the fabric speak to me. I just toss them all out on a table, chop them up and sew them down! I can't resist these colors.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Just finished this GARDEN OF EDEN quilt! I quilted most in a Jungle leaf motif, which I love juxtaposed on the geometrics, and then, as you might be able to see, I stuffed the snake a bit to give it a 3D effect. It's so wonderful on a bed. Love it. On to the next quilting adventure!
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Talk about getting wrapped up in your work! This is the quilt I've donated to BCEFA for their GRAND AUCTION on October 1st. It will come with this photo personalized to the winner. It's a great twin size of 90"X66". Just right for cuddling up when the cool weather arrives. For all who have asked about buying one of my pieces... Here's your chance.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Took a machine embroidery class at COTTON CANDY FABRICS & QUILTS today. Learning never ends! Ha!!!!
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Someone, some very generous someone, sent me a box of her tossed off scraps. I opened the box and my mind was blown. I had to make something of them ... 
My aim was to throw judgement away and just grab tiny scraps sewing them together and seeing what they did for one another. If I liked a color, I sewed it on. If I liked a print, onto the quilt it went. I cut very little, (the fussy cut flowers are an exception), but tried to use the scraps as they came out of the pile.
The technique was "quilt as you go" style, on the long arm, and it was so much fun to make. it was so freeing! I was in heaven the entire time. Even binding it was fun since I just kept using the scraps. And... It's HUGE! 120" X 106"
I love it.
But my favorite detail can be seen on the lower right hand corner. it's a smile covid mask leftover from the baby quilt I made last week.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Just finished quilting and binding this Queen sized beauty.
 It's a pattern by Carol Thelan on YouTube. What I love is that it appears to be curved but that's just an optical illusion. All the pieces are straight. Fun?
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - A sweet admirer sent a bundle of his floral fabrics to me. I guess things will be coming up daisies in my quilting studio very soon.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Charlie and I had a lovely day in the pool.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Another worthy experiment on the Long Arm. They are not all successful but I learn from each one and someday.... someday...
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - https://e.givesmart.com/events/yWC/i/
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Rockefeller Christmas tree with the gang. The tradition renewed. Merry Merry everyone.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Watching Biden refuse to face facts and Trump claiming to be god's chosen one I can only conclude that the most destructive force on earth is the male ego.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Me and that Schneider woman. What a delight she is. Had a great time together at the 92nd ST Y.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Charlie and me had a great Thanksgiving with the family in the big city.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Went to see my precious Shoshana Bean in HELL'S KITCHEN last night and had a blast. She, and the entire cast, are talent on parade! Amazing energy and passion for their work. Bravi one and all.
After the performance, standing on the stage with the company and crew, several of whom I've known for years... decades even... one of the house staff said she was happy that I was there. "Where else would I be?" I asked. 
Looking out at the now empty audience I remarked, "There are a lot of seats out there. They fill up performance after performance, 8 times a week, with people who love theater. But we who live and breathe Broadway could only fill a house like this a couple of nights and then no more. We are a rare breed, we creatures of the stage. Rare and precious and spectacular to behold. We bring a room of strangers together and through the magic of seductive artistry we get them to believe whatever we say as truth. No house of worship is more powerful than a theater with a story to tell."
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - BoBo got me a bouquet of feathers for Mother's Day. Unfortunately, they were from inside the couch!
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Wm Rue, a wonderful designer, sent me some of his fabrics and this is what I've made of them (with a few additions from my stash). I love it. And it's great on a bed.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - I just completed my latest quilt made almost entirely on my Gammill Long Arm machine. It's a sort of autobiography of my inner and outer aspects told through the imagery of a side show. Came out a bit bigger than planned! 102" x 120". Hope you enjoy seeing it.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - I was watching MSNBC when the news came in from Israel that a 4 year old, who'd been assumed taken hostage, was actually dead and dismembered. The reporter, Nicolle Wallace, said, "I would not be able to die fast enough if that were to happen to my child."
My heart just broke. What is wrong with people is wrong with people.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - We lost a great one. David Mixner. A true hero of the LGBT movement. A wonderful human being and a loving friend. Always caring. Always dedicated. And always right. (Left)
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Delish lunch with David Leveaux, Susan Bristow and this pretzel at THE LITTLE BARN in Westport.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - I wasn’t sure this one would ever get done.  The piecing was hard enough but then I quilted the heck out of it.  Another great lesson for me.  I learn so much with each one.  King sized, of course.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Some news hits harder than others. The death of Paul Reubens is particularly painful. Known to most as PEE WEE HERMAN, Paul was a cultural phenomenon. His character became him and there was no escape although there was so much more to the man.
This past year we've been trying to get together and the pleas seemed particularly urgent. I asked him why and he'd only say, "Because I owe you holiday cards."
Now I know the real why and I'm heartbroken.
There was one Paul Reubens and he is irreplaceable.
PEE WEE HERMAN will live on as fiction does.
Paul is gone as reality demands.
A sad day.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Life with BoBo the American Blue Bay Shepherd. 8 months old and still growing.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - And another one hits the bed! I believe this one will be sold to benefit The American Cancer Society of CT after the New Year. It is a happy quilt!
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Losing Chita was hard for all of us who knew and loved her. Making this quilt felt like a visit with my friend. Please note the broken heart. I put it there to represent the accident that shattered her leg. It was an injury like that would have ended the dancing career of most but not our Conchita!
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - I had the honor of presenting LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD to my darling friend Jack O'Brien and he brought the house down with a brilliant speech. If you can find it online, do so. it's that special as is he.

Harvey Fierstein Instagram - It's cold and rainy out there but I remember a day of warm sun as if it was only days ago. Hey, wait. It WAS only days ago. Spring will be Spring!
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - This was conceived as a background for appliqué and couching experiments but I fell in love with the simplicity of it so... Quilted it as is and bound it and... say hello to "Harvey's Basket"
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - What did you do this rainy Saturday? I drove to Milford, PA where I was interviewed by the marvelous David Drake at their MILFORD THEATER. So many old friends in attendance - Sue Cella, Mary Stout, Dale Hensley, Charles Busch and the brilliant author of MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL John Berendt.
David gave me a poster from his production of CASA VALENTINA and I think we all had a marvelous time.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - What begins with flowers is bound to end with candy. So goes Halloween!
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - I took a quilted sneaker making class at COTTON CANDY FABRICS and.... I can't believe it but... Here's the left one done. And it's freakin' comfortable! Of course I used Kaffe Fassett fabrics. Better get busy and finish the right shoe
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Sometimes size counts.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Great day of sewing fun at Cotton Candy Fabrics with Sam Donovan and Steven Skybel.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Theater.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - And here is my newest. It’s a tree. I made it sewing fabric from strips and then I couched with cotton yarn over the whole thing. I kind of love it. It has a lot of personality. Please note the whole background is quilted in stars and clouds. 104” x 104”.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Get the message?
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Just completed this BARBIE & KEN quilt for my grand-niece on my new long arm machine but... BOBO has claimed it for himself. He'll get over it.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Decided that I needed a change so I pulled this quilt that I made last year out of the pile and put it on the bed. I love it. Nothing fancy about it, but the fabrics are all so wonderful. They are African wax prints. Inspirational. I can’t wait to see what dreams come my way as i sleep under this.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Just finished my first QUILT AS YOU GO piece. Not sure it cuts down on work time but then again it's always good to try something new. I may try this again.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - I've been at it again. Here's my latest improvised piece. I do these using a technique called QUILT AS YOU GO. It's very freeing and a little scary but I love how they come out.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Crazy matinee!!!! Drove up to Hartford to see the fabulous touring company of FUNNY GIRL. At intermission all of the audience's phones began to ring with emergency warnings about a tornado watch. And then the rains came down! And I mean DOWN! Before Act 2 could start, the orchestra pit flooded as did the first rows of the theater.... Unable to predict the weather, the rest of the performance had to be cancelled. BOO! But I got to go backstage and visit with the magnificent cast. What a marvelous day when you get to hug Melissa Manchester, Katerina McCrimmon and the rest of the company. Don't miss this tour as it comes through your town. DC is next and then Philly, I think. Love to catch up with them again soon.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - And what did you make this weekend? This one is totally fashioned of scraps from other quilts I've been making. I love that as a challenge. I call it, 'RUNNING HOT AND COLD". 102" x 102"
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - That singular voice, JUDY COLLINS, thrilled us last night performing the songs from her album WILDFLOWERS. I cried through most of the evening. What a joyful bin of memories. Here she was, backstage, with the marvelous Bonnie Bedelia.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - My friend Erin, of Cotton Candy Fabrics, gave me the remainders of a bolt of fabric which, when cut up and sewn, created Covid masks for children. Obviously, the days of cotton masks have passed.
I took that fabric, paired it up with a mess of scraps left over from a failed shirt project, and.... Voila!... a friend's newborn baby is about to get a beautiful quilt.
BTW - if you enlarge the photo you'll see that I quilted it with the repeated message, "YOU ARE SPECIAL". There is also an Easter egg of my name hidden in the quilting.
On to the next one!
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Almost done with the first quilt totally created on my new Gammill Statler long arm. It just needs to be bound and then we'll see how it looks on a bed. 108 x 108. It's a biggie! Lots of pieces are from Liza Roos Lucy using Kaffe Fassett fabrics. We are exciting together, don't you think?
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - The amazing Liza Roos Lucy sent me a box of orphan blocks she'd made from over the years. I put them together, adding a few touches of my own, and came up with this king sized quilt. I just finished binding it and will soon send it off to be sold for charity. What do you think of the name, "ORPHANS NO MORE"?
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Dropped into #COTTON CANDY FABRICS and BoBo fell in love with this sample throw rug made from a "Jelly Roll". Guess who will be making him one of his own? Good luck, Charlie!
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Welcome to BoBo's world.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Charlie's audition tape for JEOPARDY with an assist from BoBo. Sing out, Louise!
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - As promised, here is the information about the silent auction for this quilt. https://cbo.io/i/index.php?id=1753986
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Look who's been at it again! I opened the drawer that I toss my orphan blocks into and challenged myself to get sewing! Well, here is the result. The drawer isn't empty but someone's bed is about to get full!
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Charlie got busted today for snorting Hibiscus Dust. Kids today.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - This one gave me quite a rough time! It began simply as an exercise in sewing curves. I then decided to "couch" a design over the top which didn't work out because I don't really know how to use the "couching" foot. But the disastrous remnants of the experiment are visible in the lower right hand corner.
Then I had an idea of "thread painting" Mer-men over the watery landscape. Those disastrous remains can be seen as errant threads toward the middle of the quilt top.
And so I cut out the Mer-men figures from fabrics Ala Matisse. I made them of red and violet and hot pink. I pinned them onto the quilt top where they hung unhappily for more than a month while I made 3 other projects. I was just not happy with what I was looking at.
Cue fresh eyes! Through the wonderful Lisa McNulty I was virtually introduced to one of my quilting heroes... LIZA PRIOR LUCY! If you've never seen the work she does with Kaffe Fasset just look her up. Genius colorist! Magnificent craftsperson! All around terrific human being. She took one look at a. photo and diagnosed the problem that had been staring me in the face the entire time - the MERMEN needed to live in the same color world as the sea in which they swam. Off I went to Cotton Candy Fabrics and, thanks to Erin Byrne Holmqvist having a great selection of Kaffe designs, I was able to choose the 4 prints that I eventually used.
I decided to leave the mistakes of the past on the quilt top as a great example to myself of the struggle. So many of these projects seem to come together easily. It's good to remember that the struggle can be the best part of learning a craft.
So.. here it is. Now Liza wants me to make a red version using the original figures. But first I need a good night's sleep. and moment to celebrate.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Just finished this smaller quilt on my new Gammill long arm sewing machine. Learning sloooooowly. But learning, I am.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Happy anniversary to a Broadway miracle.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - What an experiment! First I sewed a ton of leftover patches made by Bobbi Penniman, Sarah Bond and Liza Prior Lucy to form the quilt top. Fun but... So I decided to quilt over the entire surface in thick RED chenille yarn. I used a programmed design to give it a manufactured look. Not sure what I think of the result but it's definitely more exciting seeing it in the room rather a small photo. At 105" x 105" it's delightful to the touch.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Size isn't everything! Here's Charlie with his new little brother, BoBo.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Just finished this quilt. I wanted to further explore one of the female shapes I created for my last quilt. I think I love her.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Oops, I did it again. Made another pair of sneakers thanks to the class I took at Cotton Candy Fabrics. Love 'em.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - Charlie is enjoying the last of Daylight Savings Time. He actually thinks clocks are all a bit foolish.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - As those who've been following along know that Liza Roos Lucy sent me a box of orphan blocks and scraps. I've been using them for my last few projects and I'm starting to reach further down.
 This quilt was a challenge I gave myself to use a different color palate than normal. Of course, in the end, I caved and used 3 of the Mer-men created for another quilt but now even they are used up and I will move on. 
If anyone wonders how I turn these out so quickly... they are not so quick. I put many hours into my work. Pieced on my Bernina, I quilted it with Aurifil 12 wt variegated thread on my Gammill long arm and here it is. I think it came out great. 84" X 84"
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - BoBo got his own quilt! 
It was a challenge but fun. 
I did a drawing of BoBo, digitized it, used it to quilt the entire thing and then sewed 5 larger versions out of chenille.
Hard to see all of the detail in a small photo when the quilt is 101" X 101" but you can get the idea.
Me and my Gammill are getting to know one another for sure.
Harvey Fierstein Instagram - This is a tiny detail of a king sized quilt I just finished. I covered the entire center section in cording scribbles using my Gammill long arm. Quite an adventure!

Harvey Fierstein - 4.6K Likes - Forty years is a long time to be friends. I first met Chita when our beloved Ted Hook brought her to my dressing room following the first performance of TORCH SONG TRILOGY on Broadway. We spent the next decades roaming in and out of each others' lives the way you do with family. She taught me, not only how to behave in public, but to take psyllium husk every morning to be sure you are nice and empty at curtain time. To say I loved her is almost an insult to the deep connection I always felt when with her. And so, let me simply send my heart out to Lisa, Armando, Lola and Julio. And let me never forget her ever loyal Rosie! 
91 years is a great run for a Broadway legend but for a goddess....we could have worshipped her for a hundred more. Goodbye, my friend.

So, to hold it all together, I added the purple border and quilted it with 4 DOTD snakes chasing one another around the quilt. The rest of the quilting is Sugar Skulls. Hard to see, but they are there!

Harvey Fierstein - 1.8K Likes - Someone, some very generous someone, sent me a box of her tossed off scraps. I opened the box and my mind was blown. I had to make something of them ... 
My aim was to throw judgement away and just grab tiny scraps sewing them together and seeing what they did for one another. If I liked a color, I sewed it on. If I liked a print, onto the quilt it went. I cut very little, (the fussy cut flowers are an exception), but tried to use the scraps as they came out of the pile.
The technique was "quilt as you go" style, on the long arm, and it was so much fun to make. it was so freeing! I was in heaven the entire time. Even binding it was fun since I just kept using the scraps. And... It's HUGE! 120" X 106"
I love it.
But my favorite detail can be seen on the lower right hand corner. it's a smile covid mask leftover from the baby quilt I made last week.

After the performance, standing on the stage with the company and crew, several of whom I've known for years... decades even... one of the house staff said she was happy that I was there. "Where else would I be?" I asked. 
Looking out at the now empty audience I remarked, "There are a lot of seats out there. They fill up performance after performance, 8 times a week, with people who love theater. But we who live and breathe Broadway could only fill a house like this a couple of nights and then no more. We are a rare breed, we creatures of the stage. Rare and precious and spectacular to behold. We bring a room of strangers together and through the magic of seductive artistry we get them to believe whatever we say as truth. No house of worship is more powerful than a theater with a story to tell."

This past year we've been trying to get together and the pleas seemed particularly urgent. I asked him why and he'd only say, "Because I owe you holiday cards."
Now I know the real why and I'm heartbroken.
There was one Paul Reubens and he is irreplaceable.
PEE WEE HERMAN will live on as fiction does.
Paul is gone as reality demands.
A sad day.

At intermission all of the audience's phones began to ring with emergency warnings about a tornado watch. And then the rains came down! And I mean DOWN! Before Act 2 could start, the orchestra pit flooded as did the first rows of the theater.... Unable to predict the weather, the rest of the performance had to be cancelled. BOO! But I got to go backstage and visit with the magnificent cast. What a marvelous day when you get to hug Melissa Manchester, Katerina McCrimmon and the rest of the company. Don't miss this tour as it comes through your town. DC is next and then Philly, I think. Love to catch up with them again soon.

I took that fabric, paired it up with a mess of scraps left over from a failed shirt project, and.... Voila!... a friend's newborn baby is about to get a beautiful quilt.
BTW - if you enlarge the photo you'll see that I quilted it with the repeated message, "YOU ARE SPECIAL". There is also an Easter egg of my name hidden in the quilting.

Caption : My friend Erin, of Cotton Candy Fabrics, gave me the remainders of a bolt of fabric which, when cut up and sewn, created Covid masks for children. Obviously, the days of cotton masks have passed. I took that fabric, paired it up with a mess of scraps left over from a failed shirt project, and…. Voila!… a friend’s newborn baby is about to get a beautiful quilt. BTW – if you enlarge the photo you’ll see that I quilted it with the repeated message, “YOU ARE SPECIAL”. There is also an Easter egg of my name hidden in the quilting. On to the next one!

Harvey Fierstein - 0.9K Likes - Almost done with the first quilt totally created on my new Gammill Statler long arm. It just needs to be bound and then we'll see how it looks on a bed. 108 x 108. It's a biggie! Lots of pieces are from Liza Roos Lucy using Kaffe Fassett fabrics. We are exciting together, don't you think?

Harvey Fierstein - 0.9K Likes - The amazing Liza Roos Lucy sent me a box of orphan blocks she'd made from over the years. I put them together, adding a few touches of my own, and came up with this king sized quilt. I just finished binding it and will soon send it off to be sold for charity. What do you think of the name, "ORPHANS NO MORE"?

Harvey Fierstein - 819 Likes - This one gave me quite a rough time! It began simply as an exercise in sewing curves. I then decided to "couch" a design over the top which didn't work out because I don't really know how to use the "couching" foot. But the disastrous remnants of the experiment are visible in the lower right hand corner.
Then I had an idea of "thread painting" Mer-men over the watery landscape. Those disastrous remains can be seen as errant threads toward the middle of the quilt top.
And so I cut out the Mer-men figures from fabrics Ala Matisse. I made them of red and violet and hot pink. I pinned them onto the quilt top where they hung unhappily for more than a month while I made 3 other projects. I was just not happy with what I was looking at.
Cue fresh eyes! Through the wonderful Lisa McNulty I was virtually introduced to one of my quilting heroes... LIZA PRIOR LUCY! If you've never seen the work she does with Kaffe Fasset just look her up. Genius colorist! Magnificent craftsperson! All around terrific human being. She took one look at a. photo and diagnosed the problem that had been staring me in the face the entire time - the MERMEN needed to live in the same color world as the sea in which they swam. Off I went to Cotton Candy Fabrics and, thanks to Erin Byrne Holmqvist having a great selection of Kaffe designs, I was able to choose the 4 prints that I eventually used.
I decided to leave the mistakes of the past on the quilt top as a great example to myself of the struggle. So many of these projects seem to come together easily. It's good to remember that the struggle can be the best part of learning a craft.
So.. here it is. Now Liza wants me to make a red version using the original figures. But first I need a good night's sleep. and moment to celebrate.

Harvey Fierstein - 800 Likes - What an experiment! First I sewed a ton of leftover patches made by Bobbi Penniman, Sarah Bond and Liza Prior Lucy to form the quilt top. Fun but... So I decided to quilt over the entire surface in thick RED chenille yarn. I used a programmed design to give it a manufactured look. Not sure what I think of the result but it's definitely more exciting seeing it in the room rather a small photo. At 105" x 105" it's delightful to the touch.

Harvey Fierstein - 766 Likes - As those who've been following along know that Liza Roos Lucy sent me a box of orphan blocks and scraps. I've been using them for my last few projects and I'm starting to reach further down.
 This quilt was a challenge I gave myself to use a different color palate than normal. Of course, in the end, I caved and used 3 of the Mer-men created for another quilt but now even they are used up and I will move on. 
If anyone wonders how I turn these out so quickly... they are not so quick. I put many hours into my work. Pieced on my Bernina, I quilted it with Aurifil 12 wt variegated thread on my Gammill long arm and here it is. I think it came out great. 84" X 84"

Harvey Fierstein - 763 Likes - BoBo got his own quilt! 
It was a challenge but fun. 
I did a drawing of BoBo, digitized it, used it to quilt the entire thing and then sewed 5 larger versions out of chenille.
Hard to see all of the detail in a small photo when the quilt is 101" X 101" but you can get the idea.
Me and my Gammill are getting to know one another for sure.
