It is Thanksgiving Day so I am beside myself … loving the sweet simplicity of a day devoted to fun, food and family …
There hasn’t been much time for stitching, but I’ve done a bit on rust-stained muslin from years ago that keeps rising to the top of my scrap basket. It has always made me think of sunrise, so I finally took the plunge …
backing it with a fine madder-dyed cotton gifted by Mo, stitched with a silk/cotton thread given by Jude to Deb, who worked such magic that I am beside myself with wonder …
and as I stitched discontinuous backstitch in the center and Jude’s split backstitch around the edge, I turned it this way and that …
finding at last the heart that has waited so patiently to be found.
Wishing a Happy Thanksgiving to one and all, wherever you may be. May you, too, find your heart’s content.
