Where Does Lettuce Come From?

Every Spring I become enamored with lettuce. Must be that thirst for greenery that builds up on the cold winter months. Dreams of lush, juicy lettuce fill my lunch time fantasies.

Here we have a quilt in homage to lettuce called Lettuce 9 Patch. It's a sort of prayer to a pantheon of leafy vegetables.

The fabric making up this quilt is actually an interfacing called Craft Fuse. Craft Fuse by Pellon is a non-woven fabric with fusible on the back. The non-glue side of the Craft Fuse is painted with water based textile paint. After the Craft Fuse dries, shapes are cut out and fused (remember it has glue on the back) into place.

In hindsight, it would have been easier just to buy bunches of lettuce and iron them onto fabric.
