Winter Wool

Dyeing wool fabric on a frosty February day.

in the barn

the calm before the storm.

There is another storm on its way.
It's good to see that everyone on the farm is eating well so that we can all nestle in when the snow flies.
Keep warm my friends.

What fun...

The Three Musicians Unbalanced

For this challenge I decided that I would have a bit of fun playing on the work of Picasso, no less!

The Three Musicians is a painting which delights me in a number of ways including it's wonderful balance of warm and cool colours. In this quilt I attempted to proportion warm and cool in the same manner.
The quilt was made in a very free-form style. I had a wonderful time putting it together all the while learning much about the painting that it is based on.
