New or newish photos

These first couple of photos are from a walk in the East Village the other day; it was fun to do something I don't normally do. I think I'm craving variety and new experiences these days.



On the way something caught my eye.



I went in the store, and came out a little happier.



Some other randoms: a found object; the Lincoln Center fountain, which just reopened; and a parked van on 110th kind of near my house.

P.S. LtK is at my house right now!!

If in doubt...

I know, I know

I don't update. Here's a picture I like:



I was in Illinois on the weekend, this was taken out the car window.

Inspiration - old clothes quilts

Via this blog, but really they're from Gees Bend.

The baby quilt from the last post is almost done--well, it needs to be layered and quilted--maybe this weekend I'll finish it.

Blitz

This quilt is remarkable in that I have had zero compositional crises while making it. The layout is pretty much finished (this photo not up to date) and I think I'm ready to sew, barring some minor minor changes.

In other news I have some weird spots in my vision that my eye doctor said were because some sack of gel has pulled away from the back of my eye---but not in a bad way.

Also I planted seeds on the weekend!

Interlude quilt - true blitz (?)

I have plans to start K&T's wedding quilt in the near future---however, this little baby quilt looks like it will happen first. I need a warmup project, it's been a while since I've really made anything.

A true blitzquilt by my definition should be done in under three weeks. Can I finish by April 25? It's going really quickly so far...

The extra thing in the top right is a nascent pillow cover (made with leftovers from Daniel's quilt), perhaps I'll finish that one up too. I love spring, it makes me want to make things again.
