Found objects

This quilt emerged from a bag during the studio cleanup -

It's one of my "splinter quilts", a series sparked by a workshop with Alison Schwabe a few years back. It's half quilted and the bag also contained the binding. There are lots of thread-ends to bury, so it will take about 20 hours to finish. A nice project for weekend evenings in winter, perhaps.

Boiler repairs are in progress. It's hard to find parts for a boiler this old!

It was the need for the plumber to get at the boiler that started the whole studio-renovation thing. What was "just clearing out this cupboard" turned into a major upheaval - but it's starting to feel like it's worth it.
