a slow start

Jude's Boro-class has a slow start.

First we had to make piles :

- of the "old" things we thought we could use or needed mending,

- of WIP's or UFO's,

- of small scraps devided by colour

........

( I don't have very much old stuff

the other two piles I have )

.......

then the power lines went down

caused by ice and rain

......

today came the introduction

......

it's a really slow start that fits great with "slow cloth"

......

and I don't mind

I think it's good to have some time

to think about the things that are about to happen !

So :

I started on my felted sea

This needs a lot of thinking too :

because it's quite a new way for me to use felt

The combination of felt and thin cotton, silk or even lace

requires a lot of thinking before cutting !!

( I already asked Sara for advice )

I 'm working on the sides already

( and maybe that's too soon

but right now it's the best option )

Where there's no felt, there is batting,

and I used a very thin fabric as backing.

But I don't think I'll add another backing fabric

after the embellishing and quilting is done
