handmaiden

Contemplation This is a piece of drapery weight sateen that I dye painted back in the early 90's maybe even late 80's. It is obviously too widely spaced to cut up and put into anything. Also too strong for a background fabric for applique soooo I have been contemplating doing a whole cloth quilt out of this fabric. My question: Is it a strong enough composition to stand on its own?
Granted I would do groovy quilting and add special touches with embrodiery stitches but this is very different from my usual style.
So dear readers, what do you think? That would be if you are out there....
My inclination is to go for it but when you have developed a recognizable style people expect that from you....why do I care? Art is all about doing what you want and what you are compelled to do...right? Anyway let me know what you think.
On the home front, my beloved actually had the nerve to tell me that our pantry was in a mess. Well, you know what that means...I will never again clean the pantry ever. I think that is an appropriate response...not an over reaction in any possible sense of the word. Besides, my new laptop arrives sometime tomorrow. I am still working on the Pilgrim Roy challenge and I need to start a piece to feed the soul. Pantry is way low on this girl's priority list. Sheesh, there is food in it..what more does he want?
Amid all this, I need to get ready to go to California for the Empty Spools Seminar at Asilomar. My winter clothes are mixed in with my summer clothes. I have new clothes that are still in the shopping bags..yikes! Still haven't unpacked the clothes from Canada...I know it's sounding ugly. I must apply myself to this wardrobe disaster immediately....well, maybe tomorrow, Scarlet.
Looking forward to your feelings on the fabric I remain faithfully yours in a messy house with a untidy pantry.
