The painting supplies have been put away, and as promised, I am back in quilting mode.
Actually, washing-and-ironing-fabric mode to be honest. But the cleared space will be the site of this endeavor, any minute now.
I set up my seating area so I can have my laptop and a wee cuppa handy. My sewing table is behind this bench, with the machine all ready should I need it.

I have a few paintings as souvenirs of my vacation. I have renewed enthusiasm and I learned alot about paint, line and space during the respite from fabric. The most important thing I learned was about making a series. I couldn't do it in fabric as easily as I did it in paint, but now I have the key. I think.

Essentially it comes from a theme shape or design. I knew that intellectually but for the life of me, I couldn't translate it in fabric. Now I see I can have the sketch of the idea out in front of me, and produce the shapes and move them around in different formats and in different sizes and color schemes and have those finished products relate to each other.

I have made the decision is to work small for a while. I love the idea of a 12" or 18" square since that size and shape were often what I painted. I may try framing the tops too, with or without stitchery.
