Sorry for the title. My daughter Steph and I love to come up with punny titles. We used to work for a food and travel magazine in Wilmington , NC and it was part of our job requirement to come up with stuff like this. Like "Going with the Grain" for an article on whole wheat bread!!
I was making plans to paint some silk for leaves today and thought to myself -oooh! Shibori leaves would be cool. Then I remembered these pieces of silk that I did in a silk dye-painting class and my shibori scarf from Joy Lily’s class. So I pulled all the stuff out and I think I have some more organic looking fabric to work with.
I’m really loving the piece with the deep reds and blues.
We have 20 people coming for dinner on Friday night. I have guild tomorrow. I have to get to work on this house. I hate to clean house! I’d much rather be messing up my studio, but alas, it also must be cleaned because everyone wants to come up and see what I am doing.
I did finish Dot Calm. Here it is:

I’m off to do the dreaded housework.
i love dot calm. i want one! so beautiful. love you mom.
Love it! The colours and the quilting too … I think I’ll have to let it inspire me to do something along those lines in the future. You fused the dots, right?
Gerrie, Dot Calm is fantastic. do you need my address? lol
Great quilting!!!
Dot Calm seems not-so-calm to me now. But really lovely. I like the mixture of hand and machine stitch.
Dot Calm turned out wonderfully!!!
Love the dot com piece…why would you think of feeding 20 people…yikes. Gives me the willies….and all that cleaning. I barely got the dishes done today and there is only two of us now.
