Explanation to follow

This is a my journal piece for Adar II. At the left is a plate of hamentaschen (oznei haman), the same technique I used for the postcard exchange I took part in. On the right is the opening of Megilat Esther, downloaded from the internet and freezer-paper backed printed onto dupionni silk. And the quilting, of which I an not particularly proud is a simple scribble in variegated thread. Here are my FibreArt Toronto "blue" challenges. This first one I made, bottom of the page, is my "playing it safe blue" -- same wavy pattern as previously done, very little quilting stitches but embellished with ribbon, braids, etc. The thought behind it was texture.
This one, immediately below, is my "outside my comfort zone blue". I started out with a technique I had meant to try but had never yet done--sewing bits and pieces of threads and fabrics between two layers of Sulky soluble fibre and then washing out the soluble. It turned out nicely and I got to use up all the bits and pieces from piece #1. Then I decided to try a wholecloth facing instead of binding, which allowed me to have a wavy edge to the piece. And agains, bits and pieces, beads and trims to add texture.

The next FiberArts meeting is on Pesach (Passover) so I won't be attending. The challenge is to make something recognizable for the house, i.e. potholder, tea cozy, etc. I am going to make a bookmark(s) which will take very little time. I made one for Jeremy for his birthday and he liked it.
Then I am going to go back to conventional quilting and try to finish off several quilts I have started.
And then, I am going to use my brown circle and make three wallhangings with them in shades of brown. Or maybe throw in some colour if the muse hits me.
