Here's a developing piece I'm making as part of the Mark Making with Machine class using fabrics I've dyed and stamped, as well as a few solids. I chose to rip strips and have the hems facing up for maximum texture. Former classes I've taken with Nancy Crow and Jude Hill came to mind, as it is strip pieced but looks a little woven. I will be adding stitch and any embellishment I think will enhance it.
And my second year of blogging book arrived today, along with some crocuses in the garden.
And I have another fabric weaving on the go...
Palace of the Soul is now covered with fabrics and three quarters basted together. I am eager to remove those last pins so that I can add detail. 
I like the 3D fringe of this part and I may add other colours of frayed fabric to enhance that.
I have cleared my table and will focus next on completing organizing my old basement studio, which is going to be where I will do more dyeing experimentation. 
Last week I had an opportunity to learn a new stitch - only I decided not to count and just to eyeball it and see what happened. Even though it's not a correct interlaced double herringbone, I enjoyed myself and like the results and can see how I could alter it in many possible ways. 
And I received year three of my blog in book form in the mail - I like having a hard copy for quick reference and to remember where my muse has gone over the course of a year.
