 yesterday morning, how the colours relate to the work, muddy toned down soft natural

27 pieces on a pile

25: there was a BIG MOON on my drive back home this evening, there's a moon here in this one and rainbow stars, soft kantha on a faded print; another two-sided piece, no title as yet

26: 'two sides of the same page'
there are faint lines, created by pulling horizontal threads, resembling lines on a piece of paper; I imagine writing on the cloth-page whilst looking through the net curtain out into the garden with the hare staring back at me, how a story could evolve in this cloth
the yellow is pomegranate dye, it matches Julie's curtain fabric perfectly; I cannot thank you enough for this cloth Julie, it is incredibly inspiring

27: 'how utterly absurd' 

how does a title happen: it came about as I was thinking what to do with the in-between space, between the top and bottom rows of running stitch? I pulled some threads to create a grid and once I had the grid I decided to stitch the dots on the meeting points as I have done before with the knots on the 'back' and as this was such a lot of work (really) and I kept stitching, knotting, cutting, looking at it, the thought of the absolute absurdity sprang to mind, hence the title. These are the first sewn words on a piece of mine, or at least I think they are

27 completed; my goal for the show was 30 pieces, I have faith I will manage
