Monoprints now ready to quilt

I did some more tweaking to the monoprint arrangement, took away the bottom row, rotated some of the others and decided I was happy with it. Today I layered it and It's ready to quilt.

The last piece I did with monoprints took me almost a month to make a decision on how I was going to arrange them.

Rearranging mono prints

A few months ago I had gotten out some of my mono printed circles, but ended up putting them away again. Today I not only got them out, I cut each one into nine pieces and started rearranging them on my design wall. There's lots more rearranging to be done, but at least I've started.

I actually like this arrangement, but it feels very predictable. I have more that I can cut up and add to this, but most of them have a much heavier look, more paint and less background. I like the way some parts of this seam to float (at least in person, not so much in the picture). It's about 72" x 42" as it is.

My Janome has finally been fixed and is home after seven weeks in the shop and I've been using it to quilt some donation quilts I had pieced while it was gone.

My plantar fasciitis is still there but today is the most pain free it's felt in over two weeks.

Daily stitching projects are still on track.

Trying to get back into my routine.

We've been home for over a week now and I'm still having trouble getting back into my daily routine. Part of my problem is that I've got plantar fasciitis in my right foot which is making walking quite painful. I usually start my morning with a long fast walk, but the most I've been able to do is a slow short one and it's just not the same. Amazing how one little thing can throw me out of sync.

I did do a special order of fabrics and with the leftover dye stock I did some ice dying with the old ice in the ice maker. The fabrics came out very intense and bright.

I love doing these, but never use them and so I'm  creating a rather large collection that's taking up space.
I also put together some of my indigo fabrics that I did a couple of years ago. I just need to figure out what I will be doing stitch wise on them.

My Janome is still in the repair shop, this makes almost seven weeks. Last time I talked to him he was still waiting on parts. In the mean time I'm so fed up with the whole situation that I went to the Bernina dealer and bought a new machine. Unfortunately it's on backorder so I haven't gotten it yet.

My daily, weekly and monthly projects are about all that I've accomplished.
