New artwork, yogurt, warping and a dad riddle

I was looking for pieces of fabric for the upcoming applique idea, and found this stack of samples I'd forgotten  I had, no idea where they came from. Not sure what fiber, either, probably a cotton mix.

After playing with them and making color groups of three, I carried them to the table to see them better and realized

this can be a wall hanging. The color groups allow for a direct applique in top of a reverse one, on a background. 

So, now for threads

Winnowed down to these choices

And some cutting, using a small rotary,of morning glory shapes. This why I picked leaves of different sizes, to work together

I think some sashiko stitching will come after the whole thing is appliqued, to harmonize it, but I'll do some on individual blocks.

Meanwhile I finished threading for the rug

and today I need to sort roving and maybe make a start in weaving, though sorting roving is a start, part of designing.

And there's a yogurt reveal. The hot water containers and emergency blanket seems to work

it's a bit grainy, but after straining a bit, worked fine with wild honey. The texture is not from the fermenting method, but probably age, since this is third generation. Time to order more yogurt, to use the last of it as the next starter.

And, since it's Monday, here's a Dad riddle from my childhood.

Can a man marry his widow's sister?

Funny answers only please!

Happy day everyone, may all our life riddles be funny.
