Working with Quality

I just had the excellent fortune to find this LUSH dupioni shantug silk on sale and so I stocked up! I get the shivers when I touch it; it's that good.
I've been feeling a deep need to do some hand work. I rummaged and found some yummy scraps to work with and made this sunny flower that will soon become a brooch. My plan is to use some of this new silk to make more brooches in a more luxe style.

Today I will plant the remaining spring crop in my garden. HOORAY!

I love dupioni silk and tend to hoard all the small pieces that I have bought over the years at quilt shows... something about it is so exquisite that it feels precious to me.... but to have yardage like that! Wowwweeee!! Lucky you! Enjoy!!
