Spring Forward

May 15, 2016 2 Comments

Outside everything is new and fresh! Flowers screaming for attention. Bees are at it. Birds are calling. It’s time for beginnings. And I am listening.
New piles of fabrics on my tables. I have plans for each.

And for combinations. Pattern on pattern.

    I’ve finally dug out a couple of bolts of the kimono silk I bought from Ichiroya and am about to try my hand at a couple of ‘Hitoes’ – in complementary colours. Just as soon as I finish the quilt I’m working on!

    Ah Judith…quilt or sew garments? If I could wear my quilts, and I’m not talking about pieced clothing, I would have a great wardrobe!

    Ann–what inspiring fabrics!
