Silent but not idle...
Here's a mosaic showing what I've been busy with...
I finished this small chartreuse quilt...
It's probably the last of my Colorplay scrap quilts.
Today I picked out these fabrics for another quilt, but except for the small chartreuse piece, they are not leftovers from the Colorplay series.
In other news, I started knitting a sweater with a beautiful new Katia yarn (it's the "Merino Effect" yarn).
I've put a new warp on my Louet loom, and I'm experimenting with point twill, and also using floating selvedges (and loving it!).
Last week, I did some book binding with a new great little tool, I spent as much time as possible outside, I played a lot with my GD, and of course I studied Japanese.
I've also been working on this quilt with the Japanese fabrics. I pieced a lot of blocks, but it suddenly got very boring, so I started adding smaller pieces. This is where I am now...
Do you see the two small textile pieces on the right side of the photo? These are Tambani embroideries that I bought at the Carrefour Européen du Patchwork in September. I want to use them for making two little bags.

An interesting range of things! I will look forward to seeing your knitting and new quilt progress.
I started to make a quilt a ehile ago with the same pattern using some hand dyes I bought years ago, and I ended up bored too. They're sitting in an unfinished project drawer now, but maybe I'll get them out and look at them again
What a lovely collection of work you've shown, Francoise, and thanks for the link to the African embroideries, what a great project.
tiens ... je me suis aussi laissé tenter par les tambani ... j'ai des masques en clair aynt déjà fait un quilt avec des masques foncés il y a quelques années :-)
