Today I start with this. It's the back of the book I read on my lunch break today.
I thought the 9-patch on the right was timely and I considered that by adding a triangle
to the center ...you could have a triangle/diamond 9-patch there too!
This is the front of the book, which I got at last year's pow wow.
It has many beautiful colorful and pencil drawn illustrations.
I just started looking through it, so I haven't discovered much else yet.
So, I've been working on the cloth, "Comfort".
It's pretty slow going right now. I keep placing things there and
then not feeling sure about them, so I wait.
I slid the two green pieces on the right under the velvet first.
Then I added the tan and last, the two green on the left.
But, it didn't sit right with me. It looked so...so, stripey.
Mmmm...
Some days later, I moved them around, gathering the greens together
and resting the tans to the edges.
I like this much better, but still I am looking a bit longer before stitching.
Then after listening to Jude's words about 9-patch,
in particular the 'disappearing 9-patch'...
I thought to add this little bitty 9-patch.
I had thought of having the cloth itself be one of the patches,
but then I tried having the tiny weave stand in for a patch.
This is not stitched either, I'm still looking.
I am enjoying this cloth.
I am enjoying the stitching and the looking.
Thanks for looking with me.
