Threaded Dimples


Able to stitch on the weekend,
I returned to my starry piece
for the finishing touches.
A third and final backing has been added 
and I'm quilting the layers together.
Love those undulations.


Some stitches will be more raggedy...
less like a quilting stitch.


Even back in the beginning of my stitching life...
I couldn't resist filling in every speck of space with stitch.


It's the texture.
Those little dimples sinking into cloth.

  2. Love the 'dimples' - I'm a 'texture' freak so anytime fabric is 'bumpy' I like it. Love the snail.

  4. It's the variety of texture available that makes embroidery so fascinating.

  6. i too enjoy the feel of dimples.....i have even tried to figure out what way to make the dimples go, by stitching different directions...then i get sidetracked by another small space and totally forget I was trying to tame the dimples. or organize them.
