Looking forward- New Year and new work.

Happy New Year! I started a new piece- Winter field 2 - all fog, cold and ice. I am thinking about inventing new stitches as a way of personal expression. This new body of work called For the Love of Stitch. This piece has 3 layers of soft recycled fabric- grey linen from some trousers of mine, old pale blue cotton and curtain fabric already pin tucked. It is a dull rainy day so not good for photographs but I used a diagonal stitch that leaves a horizontal stitch on the back, to go up the seed drill lines. The frayed out piece will be a tree in the field corner. I want to look at the different field corners in different seasons - yes cycles of work and life.
