one stitch at a time

our weather swings back and forth from grey, rainy and warmish

to clear, sunny and cold

across the Strait, Mount Baker is showing off

I spend the evenings beside the fire

giving spinning a rest, starting a new stitching project

I thought about doing a different piece for each month

prayer flags maybe?

but that is rather ambitious when everything is stitched by hand

Tilleke Schwarz does the most creative, inspiring story telling in stitches

in her book New Potatoes she writes “I include everything that moves, amazes or intrigues me”

simply delightful

labyrinths intrigue me

what better way to start a new year than finding one’s way

with a quote from Emily Dickinson

and lots of kantha stitches done with silk thrums
