I’m feeling the urge to quilt today, possibly because this month is the red challenge in one of the art quilt groups on Facebook that I joined. I love red. Except that right now I’m drawn to purple instead, maybe because I have some purple handspun that I’d like to couch.

On my own, before I joined the group, I’d done six “color studies” (I don’t know what else to call them): blue, red, black, brown, yellow, and orange, in the slow stitch style (made in that order). The symmetry bug had bitten down hard by the time I got to orange.

I’ve yet to actually do any couching or beading, but I really want to give it a try. However, what I really need to do today is to stop putting off the work assignment that I’ve been not doing for about a week now and just get it done.
