Deirdre's Exquisite Corpse

My piece was returned to me, just before Christmas. I am thrilled with the way it came out. This was my drawing before I put it on the fabric.

We then picked a section to work on when we were done we covered the front and back of the section we worked on then mailed it to the next person on the list.

I had some help from my resident quilt inspector

Then I covered up my section

I sent my piece off and waited for it to come back. In the meanwhile I worked on the 5 other women’s pieces as they were passed around. I had a blast working on them.

I got my Exquisite Corpse back right before Christmas. Linda was the last woman who worked on my EC. She asked if she should cover up her section. I told her no, so when I opened the package this is what I saw!

All the other spaces were covered up. Uncovering them was harder than I realized it would be. I was afraid to cut an important thread, so the process took some time. I didn’t know what order they were covered, so I worked my way around the outside.

Here is the 2nd square that I uncovered and a detail. I’m not sure who did this section, but I’ll add the names as I get them.

Corryna’s 3rd section uncovered and detail

Gail’s Section - uncovered and detail (Isn’t the face wonderful!) Gail was the first person to work on it. She also told me she make the bluebirds!

The next section uncovered. I need to get a close of up this section.

And finally I uncovered my section. I LOVE THIS - everything worked beautifully!

A Special thanks to all the talented women who worked on my Exquisite Corpse -

Thanks, Gail, Leslie, Corryna, MaryAnne and Linda!!!

And a special thanks to Arlee - The hard working organizer of this swap!
