Black and white

I sat with the pad on my lap whilst I watched a film the other day and doodled for the 'Evolution' series.  I will create families of blocks with the same number of pieces assembled in different ways. This needs much more thought and doodling yet. It will probably be in black and white. Not sure if it's a wall hanging or bed size, depends on how many viable ideas I come up with. My ideas always reflect my situation-I will try listening to Mozart next time as I was watching  a rather dull film when I did these!

Old Red Sandstone thread.

This is my spiritual home, Marloes, Pembrokeshrie

This is some of the fantastic geology in the area.  The fold is about 55 feet high.

This is Old Red Sandstone. The textures and colours are numberless.  The cottages built from the stone are chocolate box beautiful.  

I have been collecting red/rust/rock texture fabric for ages now, because the rocks in this area are so inspirational. These fabrics will be the background for my 'Evolution' wall hanging, still in the design stage but always at the forefront of my thinking (I have done lots of thinking in the last couple of weeks!) 

I did some playing a while ago with evolving prairie points.

 The reason for this post?  I found 5000 metre reels of rayon embroidery thread in the most perfect range of colours for this quilt on sale at Lords Sewing .

This range is gorgeous!
