In this difficult time when I cannot stitch a stitch, nice to have all of you stitching for me. Thanks for the comments on my last post. Can't type much either.

Stoned

Thank you Gisele for  nine more stones....

The stones are rolling in faster than I can keep up with.  I will have to change my strategy here, posting them in groups maybe once a week. Otherwise I will not have time to stitch.   Which is the whole point, right? So after today, I will posting stones collected each week on Fridays. 

A few more....

Thank you Els, Kathy D, Mo Crow and Ali.

Ha! 75!

Not much stitching to show, I jammed the joint on my thumb.

A quiet beginning

...and ok, just one more heart.

 I have pieced together some flannel, for an extra layer,  a little loft, and we, the cloth and I, are on the table, connecting.  Starting is such a simple thing. You just do it.

I posted a lot today because I will not be posting for a while.  See you later.

This post is related to the Magic Feather project.

38 minus 1

 I started tacking the stones to a temporary cloth.  just to see them together, to keep them in plain sight.   I've numbered them on the back, which has me thinking, maybe I could stitch them on to the actual feather cloth as I receive them, in number order, as they arrive. Like stepping stones to something. Maybe a path forward.

I just added one from Lorraine..., 3 from Joan Turner,  and 9 from Mary Ruth Smith... somehow I lost the one I made, so I will make another.

And look what rolled in today, they are gathering no moss.

 9 stones from Cheryl.

and 2 more from Vanessa..

That makes   25!

 

Gathering slowly

And so the trips to the mailbox are once again filled with giving.

And this little package  held 9!  Nine more stones,  That makes 14.

Thank you Henrietta.

Your stones are home, safe and sound.

(This is part of the magic feather project, read more about it here. )

If you are going to participate, I have gathered the instructions once again here, on an information page.  Please read before making stones.

Gathering Stones

Here we go!

Thank you Deanna.... four beautiful stones.  I love how they were stitched to the paper.   4.  We have 4!

And one from me, that makes 5!

I will be recording the gathering of the stones here and have created a category, a link in the side bar that will gather the posts for viewing.

You can read the post about the stones here,  where you will find a tutorial.  Keep them simple.  Just like this.

Capturing moment

So the cloth was flung on the floor. Just to see its size.  It settled, moved by it's own breeze. Remembering the small journey.  And before I turned it over, (because even though this looks like the side I will work on, it is the other side)  I just had to wonder.  Can I capture this.  This movement? 

Because it has a sense of carrying. sweeping. Curling into.

I do this a lot.  Let the moment play out.   For a while.

It is almost a wind keeper.
