\"\"<\/a> One day last week I found myself on the beach at Carrasco, ie about 7 blocks down our street – on a windy afternoon with weak sunshine. I was not aware it had rained but clearly it had just there only a short time before I came along. The raindrops in the coarse sand produced a pattern that has me thinking<\/em><\/strong> … but maybe for after I finish the piece I am working on, with metallic leathers and metallic-waxcoated leathers applied as surface design onto a large piece of fabric, to then be quilted. I have had quite a few visitors this week and all have oohed and aahed encouragingly. The weather is becoming cold, rain threatening, ideal for hunkering down with a large quilt project to finish with some deadlines in view. <\/p>\n

Saturday I had a visit from Graciela<\/em><\/strong> my new quilting friend who has produced bits of leather – this time she produced Inez and Soledad, two more quilters<\/em><\/strong>. Apart from sharing coffee and some books together we shared some freehand aka intuitive a piecing technique, and it will be interesting to see where they take this – as it has been with everyone who has leaned the simple steps. Already I could see that although she was interested it probably won’t go far in one set of hands – but I know it will in one of the others.<\/p>\n

Editing the photo I included today was interesting – I cropped a bit and then turned it one way – it looked so very wrong<\/strong><\/em> and then the other way as it is now, it is just right. Seems to me it’s a light and shadow thing : but up in the northern hemisphere it would be round the right way – so would it still look wrong viewed from there ? Posted by Picasa<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
