Imagine ending

Three more pins are heading out to Janet in Washington, Bridget in Florida, and Louise in Canada ...

and as I stitched the last one ...

I found myself intoning, "Imagine ending."

And I do think it's time, for now, to close the Peace Pin Project. 46 pins have gone to 40 individuals (myself belatedly included) ...

from Australia and New Zealand to England and the Netherlands. As far north as Canada and as far south as Hawaii. From Washington and California on the west coast of the U.S. to New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia, Georgia, and Florida on the east coast. Not to mention the Midwest states of Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri, the mountain states of Colorado, New Mexico, and Montana, and the Lone Star state of Texas (although I prefer to claim the tiny island of blue that is Austin).

Take heart, as I don't see this as a permanent ending, more like a hiatus. It has been too cool getting shout outs like this one at Kaizen Journey

...

not to mention all the real mail that has graced our snail mail box. But still.

There are other projects that call to be completed: the flowers for Little P's room ...

and the placket cloth bag in progress ...

Others are waiting in the wings, such as a new Land of Flood and Drought cloth for 2011 ...

and The Land as the Crow Flies ...

which I muse on as I work daily NYT crosswords ...

cloth strips already torn from thrifted linen shirts, waiting to be woven ...

And so it goes ...
