June, and it's really winter now.
After walking through the park on a dark and frosty morning, I'm thinking of sewing a dark winter quilt with icy glints.

This image I took of the park made me think of a woven textile, a tapestry. I got excited and found some fabrics to make a quilt of the same mood.
with some frosty glitter.
Maybe oak leaf quilting
A quilt with lots of reds and browns and greys and shadowy blues.
I have five quilts just about finished, three more cut and partly pieced, two that are tempting piles of material - what is one more in the queue?

Hello Elizabeth...as it starts to be summer here, the colors are fading, the hills and grasses all taking on a golden tone...lately it's been rather chilly. I love your photos of the browns...is a quilt forming?
Slowly a quilt is coming together. Suddenly I have a rug, a quilted gown (it's chilly sitting here & typing), winter garden beds and still so much writing. Good thing it is winter working weather!
your frost feels so good on this
hot night with cicada songs and
lightning in the north. these
photographs are like a cool touch
to the brow.
what are you writing?????????
writing a story that keeps growing and growing - and also some history of the people and places roundabout where I live. More research than writing at the moment. Not much blogging though - perhaps you've noticed!
yes, noticed, but somehow it's all
feeling like it's in keeping with
Ballarat. i just so much like
you appearing now and again and
like knowing that i can come here
now and again....That's Good
Enough when there is purpose to
one's days...and i always sense that from you. love,
