Nothing is better than a obligation free long holiday weekend, beginning Saturday I quilted this mariners compass I pieced of few years ago. I love the background fabric on this piece, it so represents my family members that come from all over the world. I also finished my round robin compass and hung it up in the gable end of my dye studio. It looks wavy on the edges due to the fact I have it pinned between the different height frame boards of the structure. I also found a good place to put some of my natural dyed yarn.

On Sunday I packed my hand quilting and went to a pow wow with my husband. A native women did this bead work on the back of her vest. She told me this was her husbands favorite t-shirt and when he died she beaded it and sewed it on the back of her vest to honor him.

Beautiful pictures Kathy. I wish I could go floating down the river with you.
The beaded vest was amazing. What a nice way to remember her husband.
Your comapss quilts are wonderful. I love that old world map fabric too. I wish I would've bought some.
Your gift came in the mail last night. Thanks so much! The book is just beautiful. I am sure I'll enjoy reading it. I think I'll pick some fungus to try dying the wool. Thanks so much! I'm excited about that! Wish you were here to play with me!
Love & hugs!!!!
