Spirit Cloth

Invisibility

I'll say more about this later, just catching a thought and testing video again.

Mostly the Invisible Baste aka Glue Stitch approach is relaxed and the stitch shows on the other side.

But it doesn't have to...

I added a video to the Glue Stitch page over at Feel Free. But really I need a more detailed version. I'll get to it.

We can also consider this a form of applique. And blind stitching but I might even call it the Secret Stitch. I have no real reason to do it this way here because I've been really relaxed about the other side. But what is on the other side can be a choice. And well here I think I am just doing it to spend some time thinking about it again.

PS  I've sent out another issue of the Feel Free Newsletter. Getting there...

How a day moved through

Wood stacked. There was even sweeping!

And I managed to expand the silk lining. Now I can begin "walking" around the center.

The stitch in the center is settling in. As it does. Eventually the ripple ripens. As the layers touch and get to know each other, the bond deepens.

Although the center panel is now 3 layers deep, the choice of cloth has not taken away the lightness.

The weather has warmed so needle walking will be replaced with real walking today. To the sea. To the sea.

I just continue

The other side of Holding Pattern is being lined (as mentioned here...) with thin cloth and then hand dyed vintage silk, patching as I go.

Patching, quilting, patching.  Rocking.

Silk stitched closely and carefully to cotton.  They come together as one cloth that feels strong and soft at the same time.
