A few years back I shared with you a stitch sampler I was working on for that year. A cloth with all sorts of stitching techniques, an idea cloth so to speak.
One of my creative goals for 2011 is to stitch a little less, believe it or not. To make room in my days to pursue other creative loves and interests that I've shelved for too long. To nourish my creative spirit by stretching its wings a bit.
But of course I cannot abandon needle and thread completely. And maybe this stitching storyboard will be just what I need to keep my love of all things stitched alive and strong.
I begin with the cut off end of an old bleached-out feedsack I found in Nashville, the perfect canvas to work on. Here are some peeks of what's going on so far...
The key is to leave it out where I'll frequently see it. Something always pops into mind...a random stitch here and there, and on I go throughout the year. It will be fun to see where it ends up.
Anyone else doing anything similar? Would love to hear all about it...
