KAWANDI DEUX, et al

 

I've been wanting to make another
Kawandi-style piece 
since I finished this little
practice one:
↧↧↧↧↧↧
I learned a lot making this....
and I really like the process--
so different...and so 
nice and scrappy...

One thing for sure--I want to stitch 
in closer rows this time and with more
lines of quilting ,,,

Could this turn out to be 
"Daughter of Dark Days"????

(See the uneven stitching? )
I may take it all out and re-do them--
S  I  G  H..
but if I don't I 
KNOW it will bother me...so
before I get any farther on the border...
Ribbit, ribbit, ribbiting...

It's hard for me to sew on a table without
leaning forward too much 
and hurting my back; so,
I will pin the pieces in place for  
one whole side and then
(I know it's not really done that
way traditionally)  I will to sew as
usual  in my lap. 

I am just using stash and scraps 
on hand and that is revealing that I have
a whole lot of "darks" and
not that many "lights" of every
color stack...

Since I've been taking out
one color at a time and
refolding them 
(so I even can tell WHAT I
have in there!! What a mess!!)
I figured this would be a good time to
set up a new Kawandi-style piece...
[You can see the piles of fabrics on
my table above...]

We have a lot of green tomatoes, but none have, as yet, turned red...

It is a lovely day; low humidity and cooler with a nice
Northerly breeze....
We had our coffee out on the deck--
Aaaahhhh..

Nice slow start to the day...
