Wow, Nada!!! That's fantastic! I'm such a technique junkie that I'm tempted.

My daily dose was some more fiber prep today. I still have lots of those silk hankies left that I had snow dyed. I decided to do some more blending with my Lady Liberty's fiber. Her fiber is the color of a very light beige. I also was able to play with my new toy, the picker.

Love those mellow shades, Liz! Looks like you have quite a business going there in Michigan. ;-))

Scrummy Jill - even if you don't make anything of it, it's pretty enough to pin to the wall!

Beautiful Jill. I'd be tempted to leave it as is, but look forward to what you do with it.

That is gorgeous Jill. I really like it. How did you handle the thickness of the felt in the seams? Or was it fairly thin felt to start?

It's quite thick, Ruth, & I added a bottom layer of loose-weave cotton fabric - (bit thicker than cheesecloth/scrim), that avoided adding a stabilizer fabric later, so it just has a cotton backing with a placket for a hanging rod. The base fabric was followed by corriedale batting then merino & silk fibres etc on the top layer. It was a bit spongy, but has allowed the seams to (just!) go through the machine & kept plenty of texture.
It'll go up for sale, Lyn, I make far more than I want or need. Although I do fancy a long vertical version to hang in my stairwell.
& Thanks Teri.
