winter solstice

It was the shortest day today

and not a very bright one.

So I sat near the window to finish

my little solstice quiltlet

Winter solstice 2014

For the sun rays using kantha stitches, worked out pretty good, I think.

(in fact with kantha stitching you use running stitches that

are paired neatly next to each other, which gives 

the funny looking rivulets in the fabric)

Here are the two solstice pieces sisterly (or is it brotherly ?)

next to each other.

And on the backside too.

The sun goes to its turning point and the days are (slowly)

getting longer.

(for the northern hemisphere that is ...)

I wish a lot of warm and bright days 

to anyone who need it.
