This and That

I forgot to mention yesterday that I'm putting the short story project on hold for now, sorry. For my quilt break days this week I made a new nine-patch mug rug out of some low volume scraps for my desk.

I also tried an experiment in layering silk, taffeta and crepe and using some ancient silk thread and a few vintage buttons for a little art piece.

I like the way this turned out, plus I was able to try some stitching ideas.

My next three blind dates with a book arrived yesterday, too -- I asked the seller to surprise me with the titles and genres, and I haven't read any of these authors -- so I have these to look forward to in May.
