As I pulled out the final basting thread in Land of Flood and Drought, I had a strange feeling. So I looked back and found this post http://imgoingtotexas.blogspot.com/2015/08/more-nuts-than-usual.html from 52 weeks ago, to the day. It was the first time I invoked the phrase "Patchplay" ... the day I came up with my own funky take on Jude's paperless piecing ... the day I truly embarked on the cloth that is now almost complete, although I had no way of knowing that at the time.
A couple of months ago, I "edited" the Land of Flood and Drought by cutting off the top ...
Today I cut out two of those yellow patches as memory keepers ...
and any day now, I think I'll be showing you the finished piece. But in the meantime, feel free to check the Index to see how "Patchplay" and "Land of Flood and Drought" evolved.
a year to the day!
ReplyDeleteDon't you love it? I expected it to be within a month or so, but hitting the very day was like feeling one of the universal strings had been plucked on my behalf.
DeleteI look forward to seeing the finished piece. x
ReplyDeleteI think it may actually get done this weekend ...
