while keeping my breath and trying not to die-note the spelling- from heat stroke.
sitting outside under the parasol and stitching slowly to conserve energy. it's not only the heat, 32º c, but the heat index. i can fry eggs in the studio with all that noon sun hitting it.
stitching is soothing energy conserving work.
as you can see this is variations on a herringbone theme.
scraps of the wool herringbone fabric i wove last winter that could not bear to throw away. still have more. odds and ends, the dotted fabric was from a bag of gifted scraps.
hand and machine stitching; still not sure about the hefty herringbone maybe it's an overkill. too hot to think clearly. help!
neki desu
And it's soothing seeing it too. Keep cool - Hugs Nat
ReplyDeletelove your herringbone medley. it made me think of crowds on a cold winters day huddled in their finest wool garb.
ReplyDeletei like it. i like it alot.
ReplyDeleteLove to do it, to hold it, and especially to look at it! This small collection is very good (for) looking. xo
ReplyDeleteSorry, can't help. We're at the same temp today here.
ReplyDeleteI always love that herringbone fabric. I like the idea of the stitching on it. Hope the weather cools down a bit for you
ReplyDeleteI love it too, the herringbone stitching, not the heat:)
ReplyDeleteI see sandpipers running from the cool water's edge, leaving their tiny footprints in the sand. Love the herringbone!
