While up in the Attic--not looking for fabric--I was looking for my plastic boxes of embroidery floss-I happened to find these two hand dyed pieces. Peach and More Peach. I also have tea dyed squares.
Now I need to clean off my cutting board and cut more squares. I was going to cut 1.5 (1") inch squares to make a new base--finishing to one inch. But decided to continue with the 2.5 (2") inch squares. The Peach fabrics aren't plant based dyes but they are named after a plant.
I did make a small quilt once with 1.5 (1") inch squares. But I did the sewing on the machine.
I did find my embroidery floss boxes and used the floss on yesterday's piece. But I also found a large bag of unwound floss. So day I purchased two new boxes and more paddles. I'll wind while watching television tonight.
I'm excited to have a few new colors to add to this cloth. And along with additional colors (tones) I can now think about patterns.
And I am reminded of needing Peach for that one unfinished work---perhaps a solid Peach would work?
Speaking of work--I am working at the greenhouse tomorrow. All day. And I am sure my eyes won't like the glare of the bright sun in the glass greenhouse. I may need to borrow a baseball cap from G.
