as a point of reference, i would like to record a doodle study done back in the 1970s somewhere when i started thinking about dots, spots and small single unit motifs.
what if any small free-standing unit could be considered a "dot"?

what if#42: study 2
what if intersection points are considered "dots"?
what if #136: what if i simplify?
it's a new year and i am trying to clean up my approach to things a bit. slowing down more and simplifying my life. less commitment and stress, more stitching. continuing to refine my style. i feel that trying to manage too many things just results in a tangle. i have run into some unpleasant competitiveness and weird email encounters and that is not what i had in mind. SO i am revamping this site a bit, possibly combining it with spirit cloth...possibly starting over with a new compact style. i just don't know what but i need change. i see a lot of you have started what-iffing and sharing stuff on your own blogs and flickr groups and that is so cool for me to see. i am wiping my links clean here and laying low for a while. it will all come together sooner or later. there is no way change that really. thank you all for your continued support.
today i also asked what if i play with birds a bit. simplify them for some quilt block ideas. i am inspired by this old onei did years ago but never actually stitched it.
