I am just a few hours away from having this queen size composition stitched. I can hardly wait to see it! I had plans to cut it into various projects but oh my goodness, that may be too hard! I love the simple calm harmony of the everyday fabrics I have been using. Various ones have reminded me of the people who are or have been in my life. It's been a nostalgic journey the past few days.
I like working with cast-off fabrics. It's a wonderful challenge to combine them into a story. Their irregularities and oddities remind me of ourselves. These fabrics are predominantly harvested from clothes and household linens so I feel they are continuing their story. Who wore those clothes? What house was decorated with these curtains? Where did you come from, oh ordinary fabric?

Have a Creative Day Y'All!
What a lovely poetic post! I enjoy seeing how you put these fabrics together in such a harmonious way.
