How did I ever get pulled into counted thread needlework on a linen ground?
The opportunity to explore some of God's simple shapes with a needle and thread caught my attention and keeps my interest. Stitches, color, design, pattern, texture that all plays apart in it.
Is it the most important thing in life or in my life? No! But it is a part shared here.
I appreciate your stop by this blog and welcome you to comment and come back again. At this point as you see I'm not posting every day. But I'm learning and finding a rhythm for this. So the frequency that you see in the past posts will probably be pretty typical at this point.
Thank you for visiting!
