Today if the rain ever lets up, we will be heading to our place in the Dells. I have this strong urge to go to the quilt store in Reedsburg. That always leaves my pocketbook a little lighter but helps with my obsession to acquire fabric...just because!

Jan, If you are on Ravelry, my handle is the same there, tscweaves, and I have some projects out there. My production dropped for a while due to some medical issues. The projects there are mostly towels, bags, and blankets, and some other things I do with yarn.

So many things to do, so little time:-) I am trying to work in my mind a way to incorporate weaving, braiding, and quilting together. Should be fun to figure out.

Okay, the black & white floral will stay, just not is any large pieces of a block. I am glad that I started all of this early in the month, because next week I am running away to Virginia and then on to Pennsylvania for a weaving conference. I get to go and fondle yarns and weaving toys, how fun:-) The rest of this week will be taken up with getting ready.

I'm thinking of an old fashioned rag doll with braided yarn hair, wearing a quilted pinafore, sitting on her woven rug! Janet

This is a different type of braiding. These are oblique braids created on a takadai, or a high braiding stand. I am thinking more in the lines of a quilted jacket with handwoven fabric and braided accents. This is what a braid on stand looks like:

And anyways, dolls creep me out:-)

Very hot here. I have come to the conclusion I DON'T LIKE SUMMER fall best of all.

Your fabric choices are beautiful. I'd want to know, so I'm telling you. One square is turned. The block on the left, the square to the right of center.
