After Solstice

Yesterday. Considering the need to do a bit of weed-wacking on the path up to the cabin.  Best not to be walking through too much brush, it is a very bad tick season.

But then, pouring rain, no sun.  I wore my tall muck boots and hung the cloth I call Heal on the cabin wall.

It's a bit dark because I have no lights yet, but enough light comes through the windows.  Considering a few of those tube skylights for the metal roof.  Good to see it hanging,  My mind is spinning. My needle is restless.

This base was lost and found in a basket, the moon and the scrap of cloth weaving ( complete with the original baste,,,) left over from one of my first cloth weaving trials had been stitched to a scrap of indigo cloth long ago.  It suddenly became an After Hours Solstice Party,  a kind of Lightfest.

    Heal looks like it belongs.
    Laughing at ferns as weeds; in my climate I work hard to get them to grow but I do understand the tick problem.

    “heal” looks amazing with that cool paneling. nice movement ‘n flow… love the thought of uploaded ragmate patchwork here!

  3. Jude~ There she is hanging!! I’ve always loved this cloth…for how the blocks tumble, for all of the empty space in the center – so much room to just be, and for the small points of interest, which grab your eye and have you look a bit more (love the blue block on the bottom right corner…as if one of those blocks tumbled away, gathering others to Grow! A tumbleweed, gathering bits along the way. I still want to lay there and stare at this cloth for awhile!
    The After Hours Party sure has a wide awake moon! ha. I love how the original baste is now a moonlit path.

    What a subtly beautiful quilt.
    Thank you for always sharing your mind and work, as both inspire me.
    I’m fixing to sew soon, though haven’t quite got there yet.
    I did create a beautiful mandala made of art I cut up. The art pieces were being given away for free this past Saturday, and I took home a bunch.
    I love that I was able to create beauty from the generosity of a dead guy’s friends who decided giving it all away for free would be a good way to honor him. The artist was Charles Swank. Not sure how to post a photo of what I made, but I’d do it if I know how.
    My mind is moving a lot, too, these days. Thank God for the trees, sky, birds, fresh air and a good night’s sleep which I failed to get last night, but hope to get tonight.

      Sounds interesting, let me see if I can set up a way for visitors here to upload photos, that could be nice, I think it’s possible.
