I'm constitutionally incapable of buying stuff just because. There has to be some sort of immediate use and with fabric that means a WISP. I wanted a crazy quilted lap quilt to snuggle under for our drafty winters but didn't want to have fragile silks and fancy fabrics to stress over. At least that's how I justify buying gorgeous wool. It also gives me a chance to revive my interest in crewel embroidery. 30 years ago I used to do a lot of wool embroidery but kind of lost interest because how many samples and pillow tops does one house need anyway? So far this WISP is limited to a box of cozy hand dyed wools and one completed embroidery. This raspberry spray is from a pattern in Inspiration magazine. Work remaining to be done: Lots and lots of embroidery then crazy piecing the whole thing.
