 Reverse applique blanket in progress











 Our hand stitches are similiar to our hand writing...
Mine are big and extroverted.






 The cotton jersery is soft and snuggie.











 Stitched with thick and doubled buttonhole thread...it should last for several generations

Spirit Cloth

Awhile back, I found Jude Hill and her Spirit Cloth.
It had me spell bound for a long time.

I have recently joined her wonder-filled on-line class; and I have been very inspired to process and create ideas that have been percolating.









The spell has been lifted, my hands and heart are ready~ the right moment is Now.
My Japanese quilt has never felt right. I adore the fabrics I found.
Some are old, some are from old kimonos, some I bought in Japan, some given to me...

After eight years, I am removing the machine quilting



and batting.

It is receiving a new Spirit......
