Between two months of dark, rainy weather and a long-deferred photo-editing software upgrade, I've stayed away from blogging. Here's Poppyprint's comment on October's weather, and November wasn't significantly better.
Remember the indigo medallion quilt I was working on a while back? In mid-August, I took the scraps and pieced tops for two small wall quilts. Here's how things looked back then:
Although I haven't been blogging, I've had a reasonable amount of time for fabric-related activity this fall. In particular, October was a fun, fiber-filled month: block-printing workshop with VMQG's fabulous Lysa Flower, mid-month quilting retreat, and a katazome workshop at Maiwa with the always-inspiring Akemi Nakano Cohn. I've also started sewing some clothing for myself, to start dealing with the fact that I hate all of my old clothes right now, but don't particularly want to go shopping either. I'll try to take some photos of the results the next time the sun comes out, but for now, I'll just say that although I haven't been as active in the sewing room as I had hoped over the past few months, a few things have gotten done here and there.
Among the finished projects was the first quilt above, "Stray Thoughts," which I actually completed back in September but didn't get around to photographing until today:
"Stray Thoughts" is now listed in my Etsy shop. I also made a few pouches back in October, and they're finally going into the shop as well.
Happy sewing!
