* I love to use color in my work, I relate the various hues, tints and shades to my feelings. I may be leaning toward some pink this new year, which represents happiness to me. We'll be exploring color in my new workshop - *Little Books & Instinctual Stitching* at @wayartyonder I'll be bringing lots of fabric to paint and stitch on for my students to incorporate in their work. Come join the fun, camaraderie and joy of creating your own instinctually stitched little book! Workshop date: April 22 & 23 2023 I hope to see you there!

Day 16 of #SeptTextileLove is line. A single straight stitch is a line therefore all my work is made up of lines; shaded, blended, contrasting, merging, outlined and sometimes hidden. I decided to choose a thread sketched piece where I used a black thread to ‘draw’ lines directly on the blank fabric. I then added appliquéd pieces of printed cotton.

* I carry a book in my bag with a little sewing kit so I can stitch while waiting in lines, surprising how fast a wait for a doctor's appointment will pass as I'm immersed in instinctual stitching. * * I’ll be teaching my new workshop - -Little Books & Instinctual Stitching- at @wayartyonderstudio hosted by @janamfreeman Come join the fun, camaraderie and joy of creating your own instinctually stitched little book!

🪡 Maybe too abstract to be my “thing”, but I enjoyed the process of embroidering out of my comfort zone. 🚂 We made a short trip to Vic to celebrate @mostlymaths birthday and I took with me a limited palette of vintage threads and a piece of tulle with the idea to make some quick sketches with thread and needle. 🧵I will not fool you: it wasn’t quick. As soon as I drafted the first lines I realized that I wanted to give it more texture and depth, and I finished doing only one scene that took me several hours. 🌅 The embroidered postcard is from the Cathedral’s Bell Tower (the highest in Romanic style in Catalonia) and a statue of bishop Oliba, who ordered its construction in the XI th century. If you have never visited Vic as a tourist before (I have only been here for work and enclosed in a meeting room all day), the medieval art collection in its Episcopal Museum and the Leather Art Museum are worth a visit. #contemporaryembroidery #modernembroidery #threadsketching #handembroideryart #needlework #fiberart #freestyleembroidery #freehandembroidery #embroiderersofinstagram #embroideryartist #handstitch #tulleembroidery (at Vic, Cataluna, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZkF1QAuxCI/?utm_medium=tumblr
