This friend is downsizing and gave me batches of cloth napkins and placemats. Of course, my mind is churning with thoughts about dyeing them and\/or cutting them into pieces. I&#8217;m especially excited about the WHITE and RED napkins. Great colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"328\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/img_1479.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9939\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/img_1479.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/img_1479-300x197.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don&#8217;t use placemats &#8211; but maybe I should consider it? These are a pleasing coral color and coordinate nicely. On the other hand, if stitched together, they would make a great backing for a large cloth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/img_1481.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9942\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/img_1481.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/img_1481-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My friend is also an Organizer Supreme. I am not. But still, under her influence, I felt the need to go through my basket of dyed fabric and try to make some sense out of it. It was good to revisit what I had and enjoy these colors. I started thinking about squares again. Just a big pile of one-inch or two-inch squares out of these lovely dyed scraps, mostly from workshops. And I&#8217;m also thinking about Transparency. There is a lot of organza and filmy stuff in the basket. I really want to experiment with filmy layers. This is all escapism from the projects I have currently in progress, which seem to have lost their momentum after a weekend away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/img_1466.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9940\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/img_1466.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/img_1466-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This adorable pink scrap jumped out of my basket demanding my attention. I think it came from Deb Lacativa. It really needs to be stitched into a square and given a place of prominence! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/img_1465.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9941\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/img_1465.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/img_1465-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just went away for the weekend &#8211; a quick trip to Connecticut &#8211; but I feel very disconnected now that I&#8217;m home.
