It's been a really nice day today.
I've been at school for the past 8 hours under the tutelage of Effie Mitrofanis.
I'm stretching my abilities folk…. really stretching it. But, I'm enjoying it.
When I think back, it's not the first embroidery class I've taken. I took one with Judith Baker Montano (too many years ago)
I'm just lucky the course is on while I'm home and the quilts I viewed in South Africa at their wonderful Quilt Show niggled at me and I want to know more about, beading, cording and embroidery for my quilts.
So here I am sitting down (sort of quietly) stitching by hand… My Mum would be impressed.
Did you feel the world slow down when you started stitching?
I have trouble thinking of you slowing down.
Not really honey… I resisted the urge to go walkabout and think my own thoughts….
I do when I’m drawing, stitching is a bit different.
