Not much quilting getting done

While I'm ensconced here in peaceful Pitt Meadows, other tasks are taking priority - such as going through the photos I've put on my dad's computer in the past few years, taking off the boring old ones -- and finding a few that are calling out to be posted on the blog. They are leading to all sorts of internet explorations - ah, the joys of serendipity!
The sewing machine is set up on the dining table -- probably the darkest part of the house, which is perhaps one of the reasons I haven't been using it all that much. The cover was made from half a metre of prequilted fabric, and the little catch-all used up every last scrap (that's why it's so small).

There's some handstitching on the go, for car journeys etc - stitched shibori, experimenting with length and direction of stitch. I'll pull up the threads, paint it, and use it for covering little handmade books.
