Despite taxes and lots of work for the day job I was fairly productive with my textile art in April. At the beginning of the month Blogger locked down my blog because of the spool art embroidery project I finished at the end of March. I got it back, but I still have no explanation why they would object to my stitching.
My favorite person came home unexpectedly for a friend's funeral, during which time I made and embroidered two practice pieces with scraps leftover from piecing the linen quilt.
This is the one I worked on while waiting to find out if her flight home landed safely. You can tell I was worried, right? Ha.
On Easter Sunday I put together this little silk piece. I admit it does look a bit like an alien one-eyed spider creature that wants to eat your face. But art does not always turn out the way you think, and it makes me smile.
I also batted, backed and pinned the linen quilt, which will be the main project I work on in May and for many, many months to come.
Starting to embroider this quilt was still a joy. I do love working on linen.
This time around I am going to take weekly breaks from the linen quilt and do small one or two day projects so I don't get burned out on it, and my first break project was hand stitching and quilting a new mug rug for my desk.
Happy May Day. :)
