We started the morning by loosing power. Since it’s 14 F outside, we had a bit of a scramble to start sinks dripping, build a fire in the fireplace, and bundle up under blankets and sweaters. Fortunately, power is back on (or I wouldn’t have a post today).
I have an idea I’m playing with, and its execution requires lots of fabric texture. Of course, I had to dye some silk scarves too, as it’s always a surprise what they look like.
I did play with red scraps as well. I have 20+ 16 patches finished with a small stack still to pin and stitch. I think there are 14 flowers so far, with maybe 3 more to sew up. My red scraps definitely are not as abundant as green. They are quite cheerful, so they counteract our recent cloudy days nicely.

What a beautiful collection of dyed fabrics - great texture! One of the ladies in our guild does a lot of fabric dying but I'm never tried it.
Red is definitely a cheerful color to sew with, Katie! And your dyed fabrics - gorgeous. So glad your power came back on! 5 degrees this morning in Colorado, but the sun has come out to warm us up.
You dye such pretty fabrics! They'll be great wherever they land. The red blocks are looking good. Have a good week!
