YO-YO QUILT AND FLOWERS

I have been working on restoring a Yo-Yo quilt that was given to me last year. It was in better then fare condition, mostly I just had to resew the yo-yo's back together were they have come on done.  Here it is all finished out in the garden with the flowers this morning.  If there is some one who can tell from the pictures what decade they think that the fabric if from please let me know, I am interested in knowing.

Lava and Ash

I was on my way to Iceland last week but a volcano got in my way...a long story. I had wanted to see the eruption and since I was not able to I made my on interpretation of the event.  So here goes.....

The ash cloud is made from un-spun Icelandic sheep's wool, I think the the color is just right. How things look in my mind and how they come out my fingers don't always work out but you have to take a chance.
