This side of Lake Michigan most of our winter nights and days are cloudy, it was so nice to see the full moon on Valentines night. I can't remember the last time I saw a full moon. After photographing it I made my own.
I couldn't resist making my moon heart shape. With a little bit of natural dyed wool I appliqued on the heart, layer it with batting and hand-quilted with iridescent thread.
Someday to be sewed with my Earth/Moon blocks.
The next day I lit a fire in the studio and went to work on dyeing some wool with indigo. I began by crushing up the indigo.
Mixed it in the solution and kept it warm on my stove.
My husband hung a clothes line near the studio so I wouldn't have to tromp through the 20 some inches of snow we have. I began by dyeing pieces for my Sun/Moon quilt.
Next I pulled out all my yellow and not so great pieces I had previously dyed and over dyed them all.
Everything froze a couple minutes after it was hung up.
