I've been working on a new quilt that has been mulling in my brain for some time. I wanted to find as many different white fabrics in as many different textures as I could, and piece them into one quilt with just bits of color. I had some scraps from old quilts, but I also found some stuff at Goodwill...white linen shirts, a soft thin white pillow case, etc...that I was able to cut up and use.
I've quilted some of it with my machine, and now I'm doing a bunch of hand quilting with varying thicknesses of white thread.
Yesterday, I had all the River Bookies book women over to my house for lunch and book discussion. My book was "The Year of Magical Thinking" by Joan Didion. It's a good book, and it made for a wonderful and varied reaction.
Here is (from left) Nina, Karen and Carla. The tapestry on the wall is by Maximo Laura, a Peruvian weaver from whom I was lucky enough to take a workshop when I was in Peru.
Here you see Lucky, Jo, Cretia and half of Norma.
And here, Carla, Pat, Carol and Naomi.
Oh, how I do love these women and our book club.
