I wish I'd had more blue scraps. It began to be a bit of a problem finding a way to keep from repeating the same fabrics too close to each other. Still not finished, but with the front all patched, I can get a better idea of how it will look.
The milkweed is producing flowers again. Just when I thought they were completely through for the summer and collected seeds for next year, more buds arrived.
Scattered crepe myrtle "confetti" nestle in shrubs and ground cover; makes it look as if the shrubs and ground cover are blooming. I've long neglected some serious trimming of the ground cover which will soon take over the patio, if I don't do something about it.
Fee and I had planned to take a short trip this month, but as often happens, work has interfered. We will be heading to Baton Rouge later this month for Max's birthday, and hopefully, we can schedule a little side venture at that time.
The white on white has received no attention in quite some time. Maybe when (and if) I finish the jeogori style boro jacket, I will return to the white on white.
Have a good week!

I really like the cut of the boro jacket. I imagine it to be a bit like a puzzle to fit all the fabrics in. Have a great visit to Baton Rouge.
ReplyDeleteValerie - Thanks! :) I have to be sure to watch which little squares I put where, but other than that, it is pretty mindless.
ReplyDeleteI have a plethora of blue batiks, I'd be glad to send you some pieces.
ReplyDeleteRian - Wow! Thanks so much for the offer, Rian! I'm almost finished now, but I would have loved more blues, especially batiks. Next time, I'll remember to post earlier about a need. Thanks so much for the offer!
ReplyDeleteI was going to offer an envelope of blues too! The jacket looks great :) I hope you'll model it when you're all done!
ReplyDeleteLove the jacket, Jenclair. I wish I'd know about your needing blue....that the largest pile in my stash. Please let me know if you need some. They could be there in just a day or two.

Nancy - :) I don't know why I didn't request help with the blues! I won't hesitate next time! Thanks, Nancy.
ReplyDeleteMary - Another kind offer! If I'd thought of it in time, I could have a huge stash of blues. I'm so close to finishing now, but I really appreciate the kind offer!
I have lots of blues, too. I would have gladly shared! Love how your jacket is turning out!
