Some days

Some days 

I just want to make something...

So I did.

I love hand sewing

 

I love hand sewing 

so why do I hate sewing up my knitting?

 

 

I did it though.

 

Love what you do

I find it hard not to be weighed down by all the sad things this week.

So I decided I would get back to what I  love.

 Making little things.... do what I can control.

While I was sitting at my table this came on the tellie.
It's the new "branding" for our public broadcaster, ABC.

I hope you can open it.

I was cheered up to the point of tears.

Darkness

I have been sewing a lot the last few days.

Believe me, it has been the weather for it!
I am pleased to say my new quilt, "darkness", is in one piece.

 

I am not very happy with the photos.I am not sure why I have trouble with the dark colours.

The fabric may look like denim but it is actually old Japanese fabric from futons

and I suspect it was used for kimonos before that.

Recycled recycle.

I buy them in one piece and unpick them and wash them.

Had to dry them inside though.

I enjoy the challenge of  designing

 to make the most of these fabrics when I only have one colour.

Dark Blue

It's dark early here these days.

Too dark to tell one dark blue from the other.

So I thought I would show you what I have been working on.

They don't look that dark in daylight.

I haven't decided quite what I am going to do yet.

I am making a stack of these 5" blocks and playing with them.
