NOTE: This was drafted on Nov 4th, so some items have already been posted.
It appears that I haven't sewn anything since my husband's Dr Who's scarf-inspired wall hanging (which is still in UFO status). I have been distracted by www.500px.com, a website that allows you to post your photos, get comments, and perhaps sell them. I've always wanted to put together a portfolio and share with my late cousin Don, but that didn't happen. Now I have strangers commenting because they want to not because they feel like they have to. I guess photography could be considered fiber art if you really want to stretch the word fiber. Pictures are printed on paper, and paper comes from trees (or other plants). But when you are formatting digital photos and uploading to a website, you really don't deal with paper. So, back to fabric it is!
I've had two more deadlines to get me going. One, a possible commission from a doctor. I "drafted" two samples to show him at my last appointment to be totally knocked over because the blank space on his wall was no longer blank. Procrastination and communication kicked my in the butt again. That's all. (But you already know about this project.) Two, I needed to make a witch costume for a winery tour that some friends have been doing for years while I've been in Florida. I made a blue cape and a blue/purple hat. The hat was so much fun to make. I'll post of pic of that soon.
Now that winter is approaching, and we're no longer in Kansas, I mean Florida, I need to make more curtains. So I started today, thinking I had more yardage for the color scheme I was using. So I pieced strips of about 7 different fabrics together to make 3 small curtains. And then one strip wasn't wide enough, so I pieced some more to fill in the gap. They look more like aprons than curtains, but I like the colors. Patchwork is fun, but slow. Can't really say tomorrow that I "whipped up" some curtains last night because they aren't finished. But I had fun. Isn't that what it's all about?
