I was rummaging in old image files for inspiration. Instead, I got this clear, strong message. No stitching for the sake of doing it.
Intent, purpose, is necessary for the form, the results, to matter. There needs to be a course to get out of the harbor, only then can a sailor wander.
More images from a lost archive. Date approximate 1930. My aunts Phyllis, Vera and my father, Charlie. The horse is either Tom or Jerry. My grandfather plowed snow from the streets of North Castle, NY with his team. Cut the grass along the roadsides by hand with a scythe. He taught me how to sharpen it before I was big enough to hold it properly.

Perhaps I have aged enough and should try again.

That is a beautiful rug. I would definitely decorate around it, although I'm not sure I would wait until spring.
