No Kings protest at Bayview. There were close to 800 from our village by the sea.

It’s been years since I taught and I have really missed teaching. This week I start teaching Quiltmaking for Beginners.

Just 2 seats left. Sign up here: www.createspacelangley.org/service-page...

I’m finally using some of the fabrics I created in the natural dye course from @maiwaschooloftextiles. I’m not sure how this will turn out but I’m liking it so far.

Stitches = mark-making = texture. Just finished this small piece of textile art.

Wonderful exhibit at the Bryggens Museum of the lifelong tapestry project by Norwegian weaver Ragna Breivik. She dyed her own wools with natural dyes. The tapestries are spectacular. And…there are trolls.

Just finished making the Sanda jacket. I made the quilted fabric and then put it all together. I washed it and that softened and crinkled up everything. I had to make hand-stitched buttonholes.

Mosaic tables are finished! Grouted, sealed, and mounted onto their bases.

Backstory: Making a couple of mosaic side tables with @steve.ready. Steve made the tables, I did the mosaic.

WIP mosaic tables: Steve put a bent wood rim around the top of the tables. As I started to apply the grout I remembered to add blue painters tape to protect those beautiful teak edges.

Indigo dyeing happened today with a small group of artist friends. Gorgeous day, gorgeous colors, gorgeous artists.

What a balm to belong to a small, but supportive community.

WIP mosaic tables: Steve is putting a bent wood rim around the top of the first table. I just finished gluing on the tiles of table 2.

Collage bag with some of the Shibori fabrics that I made in Japan as well as some scraps of Japanese wovens. It’s on my website:

Spent the last few days designing and making some bird bags to celebrate summer. They are made from repurposed designer sample wools. You can find them at @museolangley.

Beautiful texture Linda!

Here’s what I did with a little of the Mokume Shibori that I made in Japan. A linen, hand-dyed, hand-stitched zipper clutch. It’s on my website:

I often find inspiration in the garden. It’s peony time.

The indigo quilt top is finished. Steve Ready and I are making a couple of mosaic topped tables for our garden. Step one is the basic mosaic outline. The passion flower is my inspiration.

Sweet! What pattern did you use?

Much of the indigo Shibori fabric I created in Japan is about to become a quilt. Cut pieces are on the design wall.

I’ve heard there are cordless irons that are pretty good.

I drove past Holmes Harbor this morning and saw this. Apparently it’s an algae bloom.
