I've been busy... doing those summer things...riding my bike...and trying to stay cool. Seems that working with wool doesn't have as much appeal for me during the summer. I have made a little progress on the quilt...but not too much. Seems that working in the garden or trying to organize the studio has been more of a priority. It now looks like this with the studio helper:
The air conditioning has been installed and we all find it much cooler to work here...if not actually optimum
I had to put this picture up as I really want to remember where I tried to sew...Ha!
I have been working on more natural dyeing on prefelt squares that I plan on felting together and adding to the quilt I made in India's class.
Lots of soft colors and wonderful textures.
Today I found out about different types of Eucalyptus...and how they react to rust dyed silk....
Wonderful!!

That is very, very lovely! I adore so many fabric textures in the mix, especially the velvet...
May I ask...the 2-colored thread (embroidery thread?) that is running through the velvet on the left, what is that? Did you blend your own? I use quite a bit of variegated embroidery thread but would love to have a 2 color mix such as this...
