Retrospective (6/3/2016)

I suppose it shouldn't be surprising that dyeing with plants yields organic forms. Even so, Patch #150 and Patch #151 delight me with their earthiness ...

I was of two minds about whether to embellish them with stitch or leave well enough alone, so I decided to have it both ways.

Original Post

I've been really scattered today ... too many projects, too little time. So what did I do? Started another project, of course.

Here's my first stab at some mending inspired by Junko Oki ...

I really like the look, but I'm going to have to call this agita stitch because it made me extremely jittery as I worked it. Or maybe I just drank too much coffee.

So I settled myself down with a seam-stitching project, since I (finally) finished the strip of April patches ...

Now I just have to figure out how to make weather patches for rainy nights followed by sunny days. However, I can't count on enlightenment from the forecasters or the weather apps ...

I'm going back to weather watching the old fashioned way: looking out the front door ...

and reading the thermometer myself ...
