sing it with me now (with apologies to gene autry):

i’m back with a needle again.
out where a friend meets a friend.
where stitchin’ fingers feed
on cloth and thread and bead,
i’m back with a needle again.
been through a bit of a drought of late. or maybe it’s just the periodic fallow spell, who knows. won’t bore you [...]

i spent earth day collecting red clay from spots of earth where i grew up. the house my mom and dad built where i spent my baby days - the H can still be seen in the chimney. red dirt from the land where my doting grandparent’s house once stood. red clay from the yard [...]

monday past: while continuing work on operation clear-out, happened upon the only surviving piece of clothing i wore as a baby: a teensy little corduroy jacket. washed it, dried it, hung it up as delightful reminder that i was ever once that small and reliant.

won’t be long now. autoquiltography one is almost finished:

couldn’t take it any more, so ripped out all stitching on one plate at my dinner party.

reworked cup in the few minutes available tonight - the cup on the old-back-now-front/top side. added beaded saucer since granddaddy’s pet grandchild project was teaching us to sip coffee-flavored milk from a saucer. (i never acquired the taste for coffee. to this day, i don’t own a coffee pot.)
leaving steam as is cause i like [...]

3 days of stitching stars - count them THREE days - of stitching over previous messy stitching, ripping and snipping out stitching then just now my boy and i decide we like the backside better.
sigh.
this is a plate in my dinner party, the one for my granddaddy ballard. though the star resembles a starfish, on [...]

well, i think there’s some improvement in my edging stitching. maybe not marked but definitely some. worked on it tonight during rehearsal for into the woods, and i think it’s finally all coming back to me. (i have 16 words - not lines but words - in tonight’s rehearsal page span, so there was plenty [...]

base stitching on autoquiltography one continues. thought i’d be anxious to be moving to the next phase now, ready to move forward and get this annunciated image stitched into existence . . . but not so much. will be glad when i’m to the hand-sewing stage for reasons of portability: won’t lose work time during [...]

i don’t have any more sense than to show you the poor results of my edging efforts today. (it’s another piece for my dinner party series.) tomorrow will undoubtedly be dedicated to stitch removal and search for that ancient instructional book of stitches.
