new beginnings

The "Diaries" class over at Jude's
(which isn't really a class in the normal way)
has started this September.

And now, after finishing the Wedding piece and the Warm Heart,
my hands are finally "free" to start on something new and b i g
And I mean literally b i g, like a blanket,
which is nót the size I normally prefer !

In fact I bought some lovely thick cotton ikat fabric last year.
This fabric I want to use  in a way
that you still see part of the "ïkat" on either side.
(because I also want it to be double sided
So I unearthed it from the back of a drawer

and the rainbow colours,
that were still pinned on around the moon,
go just fine with my latest plans for it !

On the other side there will be a lot of butterflies
of which I still had some left
from the Patchwork Beasts class, two years ago.
Lots of new butterflies are being pieced

by the machine, and than the seams basted in Jude's way,


with all the lovely tiny dimples at the right side.

needle and fork

Although I did a lot of other things
ánd I didn't sign up for Jude's "Magic Cloth" series ...
needle and thread have started itching again
( not literally ofcourse )

Add to that the wonderful scraps from Connie ...

I just started with some pieces and let it grow on it's own
.....
an idea is already forming in my mind to where it may lead
( about 28 x 28 cm  now ... )

Our wonderful daughter, a great cook,
was asking, when I spoke to her on the phone yesterday :
"shall I cook dinner for you tomorrow ?"

Well, ofcourse we said :
"Yes !!!"


So for me it was no cooking dinner tonight,
just eating and enjoying it !

( "Chicken under the hat"
pie with aubergine (eggplant), courgette (zucchini), chicken (but we had it
with veggie-replacement), ginger, spices and ....cherries ! )
