New ideas are so much easier to come by when we can talk, though
And Saturday was Green... This is March, I think, in my Moons series.. Ready to quilt, when I can gather myself..

Too Much Standing, Lots of Green
We did a proper day's work, with suitable distancing of course, on Tuesday
I'm out of practice, been suffering since..

Have Dones, rather than To Dos
Much more encouraging, and we have emailed each other with short or long lists each day - yesterday's could have been summed up as Postcards, on both sides
My Have Done for today
Next in my Full Moon series - this is just the background, needs trees. Can you see the moonlight through the forest?

Gathering Together
Not just people, although I will enjoy the Teapot Quilters this afternoon, but also blocks. I'm a member of Contemporary Quilt, a Specialist group within The Quilters' Guild tending to Art. Without the courage to use that Big Word, however..
So, this year's Challenge theme is Fragmentation, which seems almost too easy for a cutter-up of fabrics like me. I thought of these lovely blocks, and I'm jigsawing them together. They are all different sizes, and need gently shaping and straightening and amalgamating into bigger blocks
Here's one in progress
These blocks are leftovers from one of my Moon series quilts - I made them in a fairly mindless way, from little bits of Japanese fabrics and hand-dyes, when I was desperately trying to distract myself from a very sick husband and a very very disrupted year. These were the excess having made the original quilt. I don't have a good shot of the original, but here's a detail
The Moon series are about the 13 full moons of the year, and are inspired by the traditional names and associations of these moons from many cultures. This one is February, and is called Shoulder To Shoulder Around The Fire - it's about using the last scraps of whatever you have to survive, sharing, and huddling together.. So, appropriate for this time of year. What has this got to do with Modern? Apart from the Improv, the use-it-up, and the inspiration, not much, but who cares?
