little black linen dress

I have been working on a quilt for the Tall Short person.  Yes, I know the last quilt I have been working on is not finished.  But  I have this habit of always working on nine squares while I am making a quilt.  When I was putting together the last top, I started in on these squares.  There are spider webs, forest insects, skulls, bright colours, dark colours.  Pink, purple, and black are predominant.  The back is going to be pieced as well with an ocean theme and a hug in the middle.

But after the quilt top was done, I was figuring out the back.  I put together a little black linen dress while I made more nine squares and thought.  I love this dress even though it is a tad short because that was the fabric I had.  It also seems to collect every thread and fuzzy within a five mile radius.  And if I do not wear apron, the flour!  The flour is everywhere!  But that is just normal.

But it is comfy.  And it is black.  And it is linen and it is the time of year where the temperature sits around 100 degrees Fahrenheit most afternoons.  It felt too hot to breathe outside today so I was a bit of a slug.  Lots of water and stitching but no walking.  I walked a little bit earlier and it was still hot.  Tomorrow may be better and it may not but I may try harder.
