As promised here are my sampler pieces in progress, hanging together and looking like they live easily together. I think they do, I think they compliment each other perfectly and they tempt me so much to get off here and go work on them some more. My ''sampler'' cloth is the most exciting thing to happen here for a long time! I need to find a little patience and self control from somewhere as I do have other things in progress that are equally as exciting. It's just that these pieces are hanging here, in my field of vision. Put them away then Karen....yes I will, I will.
Cloth hanging in this way, in the manner of domestic cloth, kitchen linen, towels, has always appealed to me. It seems to me that as my motivation has always been the domestic, (in an historical sense), this is the only way to really present cloth. Far better to drape and appreciate than hide away or put behind glass....
Today my throat is less sore but I have developed some sniffles, sneezing and such. I will do my best to be brave. (can I have a sticker???) I'm still working hard. More domesticity this morning and videos for simply stitch. Later today there will be a little damp stretching and a video for you, yes you...here...tomorrow. But the big news.....simply stitch 2........read about it here....and here....it's a fly on the wall follow me as I work experience....a class that isn't a class.....
