Some sun, some mud, some exercise.

Today was a busy day. The new jockey wheel for the T@B came yesterday, so I installed it this morning. The sun was shining on the deck, so coffee in the fresh air was necessary.  My newest resolve is to ride my bike each day, so rode to the post office and back -- an 8 mile round trip.  Then home to more sunshine.  It's time to go upstairs and do the curved piecing for the shorebird quilt.  Pictures to follow.

Busy Day

 These are the two shibori scarves. The white one is a burn-out method using silk/rayon velvet. The velvet burns out, leaving the silk. 

The orange one is chenille dyed using woven shibori.

 This is a view through the silk/rayon shibori. The next thing I'll do is dye it.  I also have to do a little felting where I got carried away and the fiber etch ate EVERYTHING.

 Close up of the chenille shibori.  It is pretty bright.

This is the design I'm working on for the quilt show in May.  We are featuring shorebird quilts.  I've decided to go very abstract.

These are the first two "flocks" of geese I created. It's a very cool free-form paper piecing method. The tricky part is going to be assembling all the pieces once I get them made.









Today was a lovely day here in Anchor Point. The sun shone all day, melting the snow like crazy. There are deep puddles in the front of the house, but farther up the road, dirt is appearing. Who knew I'd be so glad to see dirt.

I spent a while today sitting on the deck with the poods, knitting.  It was glorious.

Dishtowels, Zippy Bags, and a Hat

 This bag has two separate designs.  The pink is one side and the brown is the other.

These items are all for sale.  Dishtowels:  $15.00 each. The dishtowels are handwoven of 100% mercerized cotton (that means they have a slightly shiny appearance).  They measure approximately 25 x 18 1/2 inches.  Zippy Bags: $15.00 each.  Handwoven fabric, 100% cotton.  100% cotton lining.  Approximately 7 3/4 x 6/1/2.  Hat: $10.00.  Hand-knit of Lion Brand Wool-Ease.  Medium Adult Size. Very stretchy.

This quilt is being shown in the Back Room Gallery at Ptarmigan Arts.

I also sell my woven items there.

Day One

This is where I hope to sell some of the stuff I make. That way, I can buy supplies to make more stuff.
