Spirit Cloth

Letting it Unroll

The last thing I packed.

When I named it. Remember?

So I just unpacked it, which is unrolling really, because I roll cloth, it travels well that way. And unrolling is so much a ceremonial kind of thing.

I finally found my pins and my basket of tacks. The small piece I pinned here was the piece I was working on in Small Cloth, I was mapping transition. Which I could say now looks a bit like a learning curve and at the same time a stream of consciousness.

It's been hard for me to be back here. To find words, to share how it is, even to stitch. I've just not been There. But reading my own post yesterday and a friendly reminder from a good friend (((Dee))) yesterday brought me Here, which is, yes, enough.

Now, if I could just find my recorder, (my studio is a tiny bedroom with not enough space or light)and then remember how it was that I put the recording here (my mind seems older), I could talk a bit about this, how and more importantly why these fit so well together. Talk about the bigger PUZZLE.

The walls here are all different shades of yellow. I like white, but it is fresh paint so let it be.

And this is the road in, or out.  And a very long and steep endeavor to put out the trash. I will try not to make any.

Because I found Time

Just a bit of stitching between things to do.

Small Cloth can be handy.

Looking at one side and then the other. While thinking about how little we might really know about each other.

And then finding a way to look at both sides together.

Loving it. How it seems like the real picture.

I found some time to add another video to the last content post at Small Cloth class. This one, scroll down. Just going really, and saying.

 

A Patch is a Patch

The Wedding Quilt (made before I was documenting such things) is wearing thin. It was a thin summer cloth to begin with. Only 2 layers, the patched top and a flannel sheet backing.  No batting. It accepts mending so well. 

The old Square Patch was almost worn Away.

The new Patch is a Circle.

Mismatched, Perhaps. 

Useful though, then...Beautiful and Crazy wHole.

Puzzle Solved. Square Peg. Round hole. Yes we can.

A Harvest Moon Patch then.  Because Time Passes. We learn. Reap what we sow.

Sew. Ha!
