I'm visiting our daughter April and this post is about the textile soul of her apartment.
Many of the fabrics are of her own design, like this wall hanging and curtains.

I've managed to get into my studio every afternoon this week, and may be getting used to the social workers that have started renting a suite of offices next door. 
Sidetracked by an older piece from re purposed wool blankets, I believe I've stabilized it by stitching it to some commercial felt that Oona gave me last spring. 
Normandy, stripes
