the narrow quilt
 |
| I've added a strip onto the colourful piece so that in can now be draped over a chair, decorative, and it could be worn as a shawl on a
chilly evening, useful. this is the 'front' |
 |
| ......and this is the 'back' , the 'messy' stitching has been hidden by the light blue and from now on all stitching has to work both ways, so there's no more hiding; this means the connections are knowable and visible; I want to try and stitch as many circles as possible and keep it flat at the same time. |
 |
| ..keeping it flat means I have to undo some bits....ugh, but this is the way I want it. more on this piece here, here, here and here |

I am liking the growth of your long cloth...the many circles speak of life, and therefore motherhood. This seems to be the nature of things, eh?! Read the old comments on the old posts and yes, circles are good. From children to grandchildren to great grandchildren for some of us...life just keeps circling around! Maybe a couple of open circles that give the idea of linking together, or spirals for just continuing. I think this comment could go on for a long spiral of time...you've got me thinking!!
Thank you ever so much for continuing to return to pomegranate trail and beginning the drawing of our circle.
Also, I love the colors of the long cloth and the pale blue of the mothering of little boys. Beautiful.
yes I felt the story behind this cloth was meaningful and it isn't over is it, I mean motherhood keeps us going. I find I am always feeling and thinking when making my 'stuff', perhaps this percolates into what I make, I hope it does.
I'm glad you feel it inspires, as I had this sudden realisation yesterday evening that nothing (that I do) really matters and with it came an immense feeling of Relief, I'm here for the ride, just let go and Enjoy.
isn't it. the more we stitch the more it teaches. and then how each of us learns from being shown the relationship of others with their cloths......a growing
amazement for me
