Jude has been posting a series of house cloths of late that she is calling Just Home.
Inspired as always, I sketched a note to self, thinking I might try paper piecing a patch…
but as I sketched, adding lines to each side of the iconic square-and-triangle house in the middle, the house grew first one side and then another. Totally improbable, of course, but I fancied myself Escher-ish and went with it.
And the paper piecing? Quickly abandoned as I realized ten pieces within a 1 3/4 inch patch was a bit much.
So I dug out a thrift store linen dress with a weave that looks like graph paper and transferred the sketch, which was stitched with Deb’s threads (what else?)
I'm Going to Texas (version 2.0) 
What a good solution! Love Escher, have my mom’s big coffee table book of his work 🙂

I just love love that house/home form – it resonates across cultures; it suggests safety, comfort, nurture. It says so much in such a simple form. Sigh.

I have an early childhood memory of being so frustrated at being unable to draw a proper triangle roof …
