This.

Before this can happen, the laying of threads through the welcoming pores of linen,

the creating of textile art that soothes the fingers and occupies the mind, this thing that I do day in and day out...

Before the frames can be filled and walls covered in thread,

before the last masterpiece begins to fade and the next can be birthed..

This. This is what takes place.

On the floor, spread out in every direction, bathed in natural light for best color comparison, on hands and knees, charts, linen, threads, pencil, eye and brain all come together to make sure each future handwork is as balanced as can be.

And I love each and every second of it.

I do have one project that I would like to pass along to someone else. If you are interested in trying your hand at model stitching, please send me an email.  **I have found a model stitcher! Thank you for all of your interest. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in future projects though. I like having a list of contacts to go over when the need arises.**
