I now am working on my 18th (!!) of 20 blocks ...it just happened--I LOVE, love, love this new method--all by hand: pre-washing all fabrics, tearing strips,
hand weaving them, pinning them and then best of all--voila !: hand basting them in place during our long, summer evenings either out on our deck or watching tv. Works for me.
Supris, supris!! At first I looked at them and thought:--this looks like old rags --but now I am seeing applique possibilities and cut out spaces for moons, stars, hearts...
Here's a close-up of a little woven block within the weave...I have no idea where this will take me...no pattern at all...just 20 (fifteen +/- ") blocks tobe sewn into a Winter quilt for myself...
I have used scraps only. Now THAT makes me feel virtuous...(but not too much so--I'll have to wait and see how it turns out, non?). Gosh, I love taking classes and learning new things.
Here is one of my fave pix from this past weekend....
My poor back is finally calming down from its spasms...I can actually walk w/o shuffling today---yay!! As tomorrow I am set to go to my daughter's to babysit for her four. Busy days,--I am surely blessed with my family so close around me....Til next time, I am (thankfully) yours avec amities---JULIEROSE, LA BLAGEUSE, GRAND'MERE,,,,
