This was an experiment using 12 blocks with a piece of each of 12 fabrics in each one. It will go to the Clark County Quilters for their charity quilts. So will the next two. I’m back to my squares with this one.

We and her art group were in her yard where the Llamas could come up to the fence to check on us. It was a hot two days but not bad there in the country and in the shade.

Making progress on the piece. I felt the blue lines of stem stitch gave the piece some organization which is something I like.
My brother and a friend bought a bucket of turquoise nuggets and he sent me some. I had just been to a demo on wire wrapping and tried it out on one of them. Now I need to find a ribbon or something to hang it from.

This shawl is knitting with yarn I spun on my Lendrum spinning wheel.
