My wonderful hubby is back home! I got nearly everything on my to do list checked off as well. Sadly, my quilting goals were not met. Not even close. Anyway, just to show you how well my hubby knows and loves me, I will show you the textile treats he brought home for me!
I am not sure what this first item is called, he bought it at am art fair in China. It is made from many, many tiny bits of folded fabrics and comes with a hanging loop.

I love this and have to figure out how it is made. The layers of fabric give it a pretty good weight. Oddly, the points are meticulous and the center….is not. Would you do anything about that? Or leave it as is? Would be easy enough to appliqué a new circle over top. It measures 17″ across.
Anyway, the next item is a lovely silk on silk hand embroidered panel. I love the people dying with indigo!

To give you an idea of how fine this is, the embroidery is only 4 1/2″ square!

The best thing he brought home was himself. I am thankful to God for giving him to me. Ecclesiastes 4:9 says, “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor.” And here is a picture of our greatest life work, our masterpieces:
