Slow stitching has taken over! I've collected some fragments of fabric: linen table cloth, scraps of lace, fine silk; and stitched them onto a piece of wool blanket. The rhythm of the stitches changes as I move across the different textures. I work in straight lines but curves in the damask pattern encourage me to stitch a circle. Neutral colours soothe jangling nerves.
The piece is finished as a haushuf: a place to keep needles and threads neat and tidy on my travels.
