    While going to the fabric store and adding to the stash is good for the instant gratification in all of us, right now my financial circumstances require I be more frugal. Therefore, tapping the stash and making do with what I have is the the main mode of transportation to my creative needs at the moment.

    Some years back, a professional photography friend was visiting and gifted me with a number of photos he developed on fabric. I have divided them into a few different sets, each to be constructed somehow into a small quilt. I've started the first (actually, the second, some of you may remember the Peeping Tom quilt) and I am digging the colors I've put together for the start of the project.

    Here is a taste of what's on the cutting table. The strata, put together.
