This morning my wind-shield was not covered in frost....
.....it was ice
Brrrrrr
The softest cloths I have ever made
Chenille made from muslin and silk
I am weaving plans for next year's scratchings
Hopefully I can make them work
Special Day
Back in the nineties
a piece of triangle experiments
A not so successful sample
It is Jude Hill whom I have to thank
for bringing me back to handwork
and for teaching me to just sit down
and stitch even on the smallest scraps of cloth.
Though I have to say that after hanging the show
me thinks I need to work larger.
Perhaps bringing together smaller pieces
but definitely dyeing larger pieces
and
if Hurricane Joaquin doesn't ruin things
I hope to leave large bundles of cloth and windfall
in the stream this week.

We suddenly shot up to a hot 35 degrees today, much too soon. As usual, love your stitching and I too have to thank Jude Hill, as well as you to get me back to hand stitching, although a new kitten makes it all a bit difficult!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure why you think some of those experiments are not so successful - I like them!
ReplyDeleteLovely snippets of the past and present. I too was influenced by Jude - although I ended up going in a completely different direction, her mode of working small pieces and stitches slowly, with complete attention inspired me to look at stitching in a whole new way.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see your (bigger) scratchings ...
ReplyDeleteAnd YES, don't we all owe Jude a LOT ;-)
Happy week, Penny
Full of new ideas for this new season...a joy for me to follow along!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your work, beautiful and inspiring.
