My Korak

 still playing with korak-style piecing

for now each square has a secret: 

its own raison d'etre

 

to say this technique fascinates me is to state the obvious:

i should be busily making holiday gifts for family

but here i sit:
bin of fragments

scissor, needle and thread

losing myself in the rhythm

auditioning

selecting

stitching

 

 korak patches

paired with hand-printed leaves

fabric naturally dyed

with color from my herb garden

We woke this morning to the first serious frost.  Fallen leaves are icy white.  Frost on the mums. A crispy early morning.  But we joyously anticipate temps in the mid- to high 50s by mid-day.
