I'm tinkering around with the small study wall hanging for Molly...will the small one be hers or will this one to the left???? I decided I would straight line quilt this one today and do a little more dyeing of components for the study piece. I enjoyed the monotony of the quilting while listening to NPR.
And what the devil is this???? On Mondays I often have a tough time getting myself to the gym, but I've found that if I reward myself by listening to an episode of The Splendid Table, I can motivate myself to get on that eliptical trainer and then up to the weight room. UGH. This week's episode had a segment on making shrimp bisque, using shrimp stock: MMMMM! Well, the market was one of my post workout stops, so I picked up a pound of shrimp and made the stock. I've frozen it and will use it in a week or so. Oh, and you can go here to listen to the fabulous Splendid Table, or upload it to your favorite listening device. You'll love it, trust me!!
I love how the damask patterns are picked up by the dyes.
Here's a bit of the study piece........I played with it for quite some time yesterday afternoon.
I don't want to show you too much, because I think at this point I want the piece to be a surprise to Molly.
And look at this!!! Elizabeth's primroses are beginning to bloom! WooHoo! Can you believe that she dug these and mailed them to me just about a month ago and now they are blooming here in my garden. I'm really thrilled. Thank you, Elizabeth!!! Persistence does lead to success, doesn't it!

I agree the upper bird is lost. I think I would do it striated in the same bright green that is used int he bottom. It seems to be bright enough-- at least on my screen. I'm not sure I'd use white because I like the color combo you have now.
