I put the flannel on the bed and began to lay pieces of cloth on top …
Pinned them down without thinking too hard about it, just going. Began by stitching down the Turquoise Trail …
A single strand this time, because that felt right …
Getting a sense of how to fold the large cloth to allow for small stitches … while listening to music from Waltstuck (a play on “Waltstock” which is a play on “Woodstock”) …
Waiting for a visit from G and P, who harvested potatoes yesterday …
Fresh potatoes for dinner tonight … life is good.
I'm Going to Texas (version 2.0) 
(((Liz))) look forward to seeing how you integrate these beautiful cloths!

seeing your big cloth had a lot to do with me deciding “I’ve just got to go ahead and do this” …

Hi LA – the work that goes into your stitched pieces is incredible; and love the photo of the excited young farmers. Stay well. B

all our grandkids are learning a lot of new things during the quarantine … playing together, making their own food, helping around the house and, most recently, art lessons on Instagram with Wendy MacNaughton (she’s my hero … we watch her #drawtogether every weekday)

kids take me back to my son’s hands in dirt.

Horizontally at least … someday I’ll graduate to a vertical design wall
And yes, the dirt … such a good rich-ness

Oh I really like the idea that you are going B-I-G!! The colours are looking so warm and wonderful together already; I think you will have fun woking out the layout and what goes where – fabric collage!

Another new-to-me thing … and a way to rescue some much-loved cloth from storage, to put it where it can be seen and touched

here it is Tuesday and as i look this morning, i wonder if you ever considered
letting it be enough as it is? It’s very very much a way for each of these
Cloths to stand on their own, but with the others and i really love looking
at it this way…with those pillows,
to me, it’s perfect.

that’s the thing, right? how much is enough, when and where to stop?
I look at Jude’s lion quilt … how I loved the beginning of it, would have felt that to be enough … but her layers made it so much more
so thank you for seeing it as perfect … and I wonder, still, where it will go
