A whole cloth piece in "whitish"?
I don't free motion. How do I do this?

well, I guess I could do a mug rug
I hate to break my try-one-every-month record , Suzy!!

Oh dear, I stopped lurking, I got the idea to do an early Stella style, I bought a bunch of great FQ in the Jinny Beyer jewel-tone line, and I ended up working instead of quilting. Bah!

Dotty-- why don't you quilt it with glue? No rule says you have to use thread. Or you could staple it, nail(?), bubble gum, car treads, anything that will hold it together or just do a rendering in pencil on cloth or paper. I love the saying, " it's all good!"

How about all sorts of white on white/cream or extend the theme and go to grey/black? Little off the suggested subject but
they are all winter colors. (Then later if you wanted to it could be the basis of a whole other work.) And you could do a small piece and try some of that free-motion quilting to stretch yourself out...............

STOP that working 'stuff' right now and go have some fun creating some art! It's good for your health. Good to see you with us steadfast creators.

Love all these ideas! Let's see; big fat tapestry needle/thread design? glue your variegated white work to an old canvas?

Ok, I have my idea. My friend 's Mom was named Rose. I do Remembering Rose pieces for Alzhemers fundraising.
Now I have to buy one of those hand quilting frames. Alas, I made my big embroidery hoop into a lampshade!!

I want one! A lampshade! With fabric or paper? Let's see!

Making a lampshade was a pain in the neck. It is for the ugly hanging fixture the landlord provides. I used rice paper &
my bamboo embroidery hoop. Only a tube. Adequate.
