Back home and busy

We've had such great weather since we've been back, that gardening has taken up most of my day.  I unpacked my lovely fabric purchases from Sri Lanka, but here they sit on my work table.  Time to get them put away and the way clear for some actual work.   Our quilt group retreat was 2 weeks ago, and I started on the Life Marks project, using a photo I took at Sigiriya.

First, the mess:

Yes, I really did bring most of this stuff back from Sri Lanka - oh, it seems such a long time ago already.  The photo in the foreground, of 5th century ruins at Sigiriya, has been altered in photoshop and I'm using it to construct an abstracted version for my Life Marks project.  Now back to cleaning.
