Every now and then, I need to touch cloth. I will use this space to show my play with cloth and tell my thoughts while stitching.

I will only use unwanted clothing, cast offs, remnants, unfinished WIPs, cloth napkins, table cloths, curtains, and my stash which is pretty extensive.

I also intend to ramble randomly about anything that might come to mind. My rambles may be long or short or with photos only.

The Connection

It's true, I haven't stitched since June.  However, the cloth side of me always gets the urge when cold weather arrives. I wouldn't say it is cold here but is cooler for sure.  Other than the obvious reason for this urge, which is sitting all cozy with the cloth in my lap,  I think I'm also reminded of the times my Granny let me iron the quilt scraps for her.  The iron wasn't electric.  It was heated on the wood burning stove. I have great winter memories of this with my Granny.  
So, during the past weekend when this urge hit, I wove another component for Tim's quilt.  Before I put it all down in June, I had worked out how the components I had finished would go together.  Beats me.  Now it is like a puzzle and I couldn't remember or figure it out again.  So, I just made the above and went from there.
I really like "the connection" of two components.  I like that it isn't obvious at first glance.
I hope to make great progress this season.  We will see.
