that someday fabric

i've got some....you know, stuff picked up at a free table, flung to me, bought on a whim with no specific purpose...for someday.....here is just one

pretty nondescript but my colors....aqua, pale green, lavender....i knew i would need it someday....and i did! and it's almost gone too....win/win!

goal today was to make 3 more 'wensleydale' blocks.....i made 4!  i found it takes less time if the fabrics are chosen ahead of time and set aside...then it's just keep going from one to the next.  i have to say my blocks photograph terrible....i tried to adjust the color without success.  certain fabrics do not jump out at you....i have the benefit of being nearsighted so without my glasses i see the full effect and i am really happy with them so far.  once they are all done, i'll take it outside and photograph in daylight...

see the someday fabric?  there are some small pieces left that'll get incorporated somehow probably.  the layout will likely get changed when all blocks are done.  the bottom triangle on the bottom right block was in shadow....

wacky weather continues....below freezing past 2 mornings but warming now and near 90 first half of next week...will have to unearth some shorts for sure and any scooting will be done early in the day before hibernating in A/C....

our new washers have deep drums and bruised my rib while leaning over retrieving socks at the bottom...and burn on my back from heating pad healing nicely...home care nurse cleared me for shower...wahoo!  call me klutz!  

spring marches on!

ultra-quiet Easter for me....day spent quilting, fixing dinner, bit of laundry, watching library videos...here's one i can highly recommend:

based on true story about Hans von Meegeren, a player in fine art thievery during WW2...PBS had aired a special called, "Plunderer:  The Last Nazi Art Thief," another true story centered around Bruno Lohse...it is appalling how many museums own and display works with dodgy provenance and their shameless business dealings with people like Lohse.  

quilting on the DWR continues with seemingly endless finish in sight...

more wensleydale blocks....i am really liking how these are turning out....the sewing area is a hot mess...piles of fabrics, tiny scraps, paper pieces everywhere...but nobody ever said creativity had to be neat....

on my computer i have a folder full of beach photos and i've used them as inspiration....i so miss being near the ocean no matter the season....

monday another chilly day...the sun is warm but the wind is still icy...not complaining at all...too soon it'll be endless sweltering days....

have a blessed day!

He is risen!

 

wishing you a blessed Easter filled with all good things---faith, family, fun and last but not least, yummy chocolate eggs...LOL
