so what happened today was i was thinking about this machine stitch that i had tried way back when, as one of the experiments in cloth to cloth. an alternative to hold it together. and well i am stitching , filling in the embroidery, building on the shapes created by the machine stitching, going right up close to it, and in some ways i think it will remain a quilting stitch but also a design guide, disappearing in the process but staying functional. and i like that actually. i do. and because of this, the circles are starting to sympathize with the squares. there is nice crossover here. evolution. a little thing but something i will explore more. but what else is new?
