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.

Say nothing

My mother used to say:

"When you have nothing to say,

Say nothing"

kimonos

I have been unpicking kimonos for my next project.

I read someone say they were followoing the "slow quilting" movement.

That is where you do a lot by hand.

I think that's me. especially lately.
