Spirit Cloth

Just Today

Wednesday, probably that's all I could say.

Except fabric bits seem to be carried on the wind here.

And I woke late. And I am posting late.

Late starts here but things are growing. It warmed up again.

Indigo, planted late, in a pot, could bring it inside and let it continue if needed.

And the green quilt start. Still working on Heal, but thinking about this one now. Calling it Grow.

Growing requires courage too. Where's that basket of red?

I threw my back out of wack, so slower.

I put a note up on grace's place. They have been evacuated. The fires are unreal. We hope all is well. 

Ha

Yeah, well, find out for yourself.

Started back here, just for some winter window garden in the first dark days after moving here.

After some research, carrot tops, edible, salad greens, but you cannot get carrots, just greens. OK.

So many roots, after a few weeks I planted them in small pots and then in the raised beds outside the porch. I like the greens. I use them like parsley.

Got so big, started to block the sunlight for other late summer seedlings. Just pulled some, maybe to dye with?

Ha. 

Should have left them a bit longer. But there are others...

See to believe.

July's Wish is Growing

A small cloth is a bigger cloth if it holds a big thought.

"There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear..."

 

almost June color

I went with the extended nine format on the Green Cross cloth.

It needed a warm hug.  Been missing hugs. How strange to hear that hugs are not a good idea anymore.  I had left the edges unattached here so I should be able to stitch the 4 new patches to the main cross without removing it. Just continue the patchwork while it is on the base. An interesting idea in general maybe. The ground is not white, it is a creamy yarn-dyed cotton with a very subtle check. As it turns out it gives me a pale grid for reference. Sometimes I cut away from the back of a patchwork applique, leaving only the seam part. To keep an evenness. But the fabrics are quite light and thin, so no need this time. Yet.
