Back in my studio....

......after all this sad time.
I try to come back to my daily life.
This is the beginning of a small wall-hanging........

all my different self-dyed blues....

the design needed a little bit more colour....
red and yeallow spirals and some tiny bars....

some hand-quilting... I will try to sandwich it today and to add some more machine-quilting....
I will post the result.... :-)

I don't know what happened that the pics are not clickable to enlarge....Picasa changed something???
