stitching on something with an end in mind is no less satisfying...here's another feather bound for Jude. The base cloth is a vintage linen napkin with a stamped design that someone left unfinished and Grace found abandoned in a second hand store that was going out of business . Once headed for oblivion, it's going to keep on working a while longer...the threaded needle was still in it and still incredibly sharp. I'm using it to work the feathers.

Your absolutely right - the pleasure is in the process.
Love the napkin story - that's a good one.

i need to sign up for that class, too. realized this week that i have so much unfinished work, i keep thinking that a neon sign will light up "DONE!", once in a great while it does. but usually just want to keep going, or to not let go maybe?
this piece of yours is wow-derful! especially love the cloth around the outside edge.
Fabulous colour on a grey day, especially the golds. They sing.
when I opened the webpage, the colors just lit up. I like this piece a lot.
I think it's finished. I too like the way it has such intensity and peace out there at the edges.
Very painterly, Deb.
"Painterly"..thanks for that Judy. Once again I'm questioning my choice of materials.
