Spirit Cloth

Turning

So here comes the sun.

And the sense of warming that spring sun brings.

I like this picture above because of it's simple composition that includes the corner sun we draw as kids. Did someone teach us that?

I spent some time stitching on the Bird Robe yesterday. Just continuing with the quilting which never seems to finish. I've worn it for like 15 years now and  it is still basted in many places. It's form as useful need not be finished in traditional standards and that thought is very key to my perspective these days.

And these days are becoming overfilled.  I will be away from here, mostly, now until class begins in April. Some pics on Instagram. I'll be in touch with all you Rag-mates and Piece-makers as things evolve.  And I'll be back here again full time with the new month when this place will again be a journal of days and the Gateway to Patchwork in Perspective/ part 1.

 

How it's going...

Probably just pics this coming week. And comments off.

Big Stuff sucking Time.

But I'm working on this one.

I've posted about liquid applique before. Here, again, silk shibori by Glennis. I've many cloth stories to share about silk.

But a new thought caught this morning.

The process could be considered a form of kindness, not cutting a cloth to fit and leaving too tiny a scrap to be used. Keeping the cloth together and useful.

I'm creating a mailing list for Patchwork in Perspective Part 1 and I'll be testing that over the coming weeks. Thank you all for your warm response. I am setting up a PO Box so I can publish a mailing address for those who prefer to pay by check. That information will be in the next Feel Free Newsletter.
