This one is done. Vintage linen napkin, indigo dyed at the Nook Huddle, taken on vacation and embroidered with whatever I had in my bag of random thread and however I felt like embroidering.

New project. What is about linen? I love it so much. As well as the shredded edges. The purple was hand dyed by my friend Ellen. Green was a pair of pants.

Improv quilt - all the blocks so far as arranged by the 11 yo because it’s basically a big felt board.

More blocks for the improv quilt! I’m way more productive with the little design wall I made a few weeks back.

Some Sunday checkerboards for my improv quilt. Ironed a few other I had already done also.
Small brown flowers was once on a folding screen my mom bought at a garage sale when I was a kid.

I went to the Fabric Sale by the Salvation Army today. They do it twice a year and the prices really can’t be beat. These are bits and bobs. #thriftedfabric #textilearts
