I've spent an endless amount of time going through old projects and fabric...sorting...organizing. I have lots of bundles to give away to different people, scraps to go to a quilt store that uses it for stuffing, and a package to
Wendy for the children. I've done some more experimenting with the dye pot, stitched on my leaf book, found more bits to add to my magic cloth and added some lace to my lace guild shirt that I started back
here. Here are some pics. Click for a closer view.

There were lots more things on my list for this past week but never got to them. I wanted to start learning tambour beading but haven't gotten there yet. I did see a wonderful movie called
'SEQUINS'. It's a french film with lots of glimpses of beautiful tambor beading by a master beader who does work for
Lacroix.
I hope you all had some time for yourselves this past week.
Everything you do leaves its mark elsewhere...
