Gazing out at our first big snow storm....it is wet and heavy and our cedars are bowing in the wind.....
HEARTS OF SNOW
My new hand piece continuing my Comfort Cloth series...I am letting the first one
(Grief cloth) rest a bit on my wall...it needs something else--but I don't know what as yet..............and so......needing to continue with a comforting hand work.....
dyed
appliqued on a nice white linen....
you can see where the darker stain was touching the metal...
this was from a walnut dye pot from long ago--
a Summer simmering in the shimmering heat....
looking out at our white landscape today,
it doesn't seem possible that Summer will come again....
But we are tucked up inside under lap quilts sipping tea
--not having to go anywhere--so---
it is a gift of beauty in this grey Winter...
I have prepared a roast chicken for a mid afternoon dinner with mashed potatoes and stuffing and cran sauce....warms the cockles of our hearts just thinking about it
(what are cockles anyway??) LOL
I managed to trim Steven's quilt yesterday and it is resting on the spare bed until I gather enough black and white fabrics to cut for binding.....
I hope you are all warm and safe and able to enjoy this Winter blessing.....
