stitched with Jude's invisible basting on all
intersecting lines
i can sit for hours, mouth hanging open, gazing upon the smallest detail. i can trace the stitches with my fingertip endlessly. a certain kind of braille ~

oh wow grace, this is spectacular! i cant really put my finger on it yet, but something about this piece seems so familiar. not really the piece itself, but the energy of it. very awesome.really enjoy your butterfly, its inspired me so much today! i see doing something like this as a moth… while against a pale indigo background and a dark indigo moon… aaahhhh! and so has your pincushion post. ive been thinking for a while that i actually need a pincushion and have been thinking of making a special indigo one… but been sitting with the idea. your post kinda gave me that gentle nudge to get working. plus judes massive pincushion blew my mind!!! im thinking i need to go in that direction ;)truly great works grace, now that we have a good base for bases, i cant wait for spirit cloth course… yipppee!

this is so beautiful… looks like the beautiful desert to me. and i do the same thing… love to touch the stitches. rubbing my fingers over them… it *is love. and like velma said, i sleep with mine… they lay right next to me in the bed at night where a pillow would be… until theyre ready to go over to the desk area.also i replied to your pincushion thread… did you get one yet? if not, i think you mustve been calling mine. i put the story on the post at the class blog. i will post a photo of it on my blog this evening (as soon as i dig it out and take a picture) if youre still interested… i will send it to you if you like it

The little magnifying glass lets you discover the little fringes on some of the cloth pieces looking like centipede legs. Marti
