Just because I felt like it, I stitched some small samples, white on white (with the occasional help of some black), exploring type of stitch and thread weight on coarser cloth, sometimes stitching regularly and on other samples more randomly.

Shown here, darning, running stitch, blanket stitch, and cross and satin stitch, sometimes needlewoven with the same or different thread - all surprisingly relaxing!
love what you're stitching!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Julie. Good to hear from you again. I post far less often than I did but I'm still very active, stitching and working from and with digital media, among other things. I've tried Instagram and I agree with you, it is very quick and easy, but I do still profer my blog where I can write down thoughts and show my process.
DeleteI'm with you there, Margaret ... still love writing down my thoughts ... and even thogh many aren't blogging anymore, I am quite content to share with a few ;)
ReplyDeleteGood for you to get back to some basics 'cause you just never know what new idea will crop up. It never hurts to revisit something.
Actually, it has crossed my mind a few times to make myself a new article of clothing ! ... nah, not likely ... hahaha
So glad we're back in touch. I enjoy your comments - and LOVE your work!
DeleteGlad to discover there are still some out there blogging. Some names from the past have resurfaced which is most encouraging.
