As so often happens in the kitchen, all the ingredients came together ... somehow scaled to Don's assemblage and to Kathy's wool and to the odd bit of linen that I got for another project in the late 90s ... a re-visioned Lord's Prayer ... but better this ...
Each arm of the piece is 7" long and 1 1/4" wide ...
Stitched in two days and I was absolutely determined to finish during the Super Bowl, so I took off glasses and hearing aids and retreated into my own world. Determined, too that the back should be as good as possible, because really I do love that ...
I did finish ... and I do like it, very much.
And this morning, this is for Grace ...
the sash is just FINE. woven stitching....both sides...
ReplyDeleteand there is the work of the cousins from here....
It has been forever since I worked with Kathy's worsted wool ... it is uneven in color and weight, each strand unique. I love it.
DeleteAnd the wasp egg case (I think that's what it is) was found when I was brush-whacking in the side yard last year.
such fine work, you are such an inspiration Liz!
ReplyDeleteAs are your fine lines ... thank you!
DeleteOh lovely, lovely. I think it is so great that you and Don can work together like this.
ReplyDeleteIt is a wonderful new dimension in our lives ... we just look at each other and say "How cool is this?"
