Color Play

During the COVID lock down, I stayed home and worked with materials I already had. I began stitching the crocheted doilies I had dyed, one on the top of the other. It was a joy to rearrange the colors and textures. Spending each day connecting and stitching them was a delight in that hard time as UW-Madison researchers have shown, repetitive movements in knitting and stitching affect your brain in similar ways to meditation. It was soothing.
PALE INFALLIBLE VOICE
Title is from Mary Oliver’s poem – “At the River Clarion” - While I sit here in a house filled with books, ideas, doubts, hesitations. And still, pressed deep into my mind, the river keeps coming, touching me, passing by on its long journey, its pale, infallible voice singing.

After combining the doilies, I played with the hot pink silk fabric and its relationship to the border fabrics.
STITCH EACH DAY
Several of us joined a Facebook page, A Year in Stitches. We were invited to stitch each day. I filled up my first embroidered in 3 months. I thought I’d make 4 of these hankies in 2017, rose, blue, yellow, and green, but I ended up doing 9!
