Sometimes

Sometimes it's nice to let world events

(and local elections)

just wash over you while you sit and stitch.

 

 

Recently I asked for help choosing thread for this quilting.

While making the little wrap (in my last post)

I recalled how much I love this old linen thread.

 

I

The happy medium: it is thicker than quilting thread but thinner than the Spagetti thread.

 

I'm happy.

Gadgets

Every time I start to plan my holidays

I start to worry about all those chargers and cords and connectors.

Especially as these days you tend to carry them in your hand luggage.

So I have made a little pouch-wrap kind of thingy.

Pieced

My latest quilt is all in one piece

and basted ready to quilt.

But hard to photograph.

To start with I took it outside so you could see how these leaves have turned.

Not a good shot of the quilt though.

 So then I tried inside.

Do you like the silhouette?

Still can't see the pattern though.

 Hmm. A bit better. A bit wrinkled.

It's a simple cross design in 2 fabrics. Minimalist.

The next big decision: which thread?

A sashiko look or just blue on blue texture?

Contemplation

I have been unpicking kimonos.

Cotton ones.

Just these two. I have a project in mind.

Slow and steady work.
