Mini Quilt Swap: Batik/hand dyed!




Done! .... ready to mail: "yesterday"
... saved it to mail it after my quilt guild meeting!

I hand dyed the outer fabric and backing several years ago .... i've been hesitant to use them because i loved them so ~ but i signed up to do another 'group dye' so, i finally felt able to "let go" of some of it... The Batik in the center I made last fall? with a group of friends ... and practiced a variety of techniques. Many of the methods i've been wanting to try for awhile - using shiva paint sticks, beading and 3d applique.
~ this will actually be mailed to my quilt swap buddy *anon* asap!

Photo Challenge ...

... with a twist ~
This photo was taken with my phone.
... while Derek was reading POETRY to Dexter , the CAT! (ok, to me too!)
... Shel Silverstein {Light in the Attic} , snow outside, a fire in the fireplace. Not a completely awful moment in time, despite we don't prefer the FREEZING temps! {i love my comfy socks!}
~ There was another photo (not number six, &a bit more blurry, where Dexter was on the back of the sofa, looking over Derek's shoulder, listening intently & looking at the pictures! He moved away slightly when Derek laughed too loud for his comfort, thus moving to the arm of the sofa!) Meanwhile, I decided to play with my camera phone and the settings (he thought i was texting!). While this is about the 6th? photo on my phone ... not exactly in the photo folder in my computer ... (yet, cuz i'm downloading them, truthfully my picts are winding up all over my computer, its the photo sprite).
... i thought this one is fun. I'm trying to make more time to take daily photo's! Derek is a super kid! I've decided, as i am not a very good steward in the whereabouts of my camera, but keep my phone handy, my next phone will have a more decent camera, which may be awhile!)... I still like this, Caddy-whompus and all!
