some stuff gets done
2 little knitting projects- a sweater and a scarf-
working away on my quilt. The big picture-
it’s a queen size. And a close-up of what I am doing now-
I am stitching a circle in the middle of every 4 blocks. I keep thinking about Easter eggs and sewing circles… that’s because I am still brain-foggy with my cold/flu recovery. Everything is still going in slow motion.
I have been feeling totally uninspired about designing clothes and dressing my dolls, mostly because I’ve been feeling lousy, but also I decided it was because I haven’t been surrounded with all my fabrics- a problem when I move out of the attic because of cold weather. I need to see and touch my materials!
Yesterday I spent some time getting reacquainted with my stash. I put together some groupings of fabrics that I am excited about- now I can get out the sketchbook and start drawing.
vintagey reds-
pinky-purple organics swirls-
this looks far eastern exotic to me-
and some trims to inspire me-

Sigh…. I have to keep most of my fabric in the attic as well. Unfortunately it would be awkward for me to work up there. Having moved 3 times in 2 years hasn’t helped much either. Perhaps sometime this weekend I’ll be able to play. I keep thinking of poor little Bleuette who must be shivering in her box without any lovely frocks to wear! I suppose she needs a quilt as well…. BTW, love the circles you’re quilting! Good job!
