Blood Moon

January 11, 2016

I'm pleased to say that Blood Moon is finished. It needs only to go to the framer and then it will be really, truly complete. I'm in wonderment over how long it took me to travel from start to almost done to finish. I would never have made it at all, had I not had the benefit of Jude Hill's awesome examples and generous teachings.

BLOOD MOON (2016) :: a little quilt of cottons, 6.5" x 6.75"

I think next I will make objects ... dolls, critters, little boxes ... we'll see. And jewelry, new jewelry ideas are a poppin' in my head and I love it. .

UPDATE: It seems that Liz Ackert is on the same wavelength today, moon dancing over at her blog: I'm Going to Texas. Her blog is always worth visiting.

Perhaps you remember when I started working on this star. That was at the end of August,. It's been moving slowly. I used to bemoan the fact that I was such a slow worker, but now I accept that it's my way and that's okay. I don't like to rush the stitching. I like to spend time looking at it while I work. Another thing that causes the finish to move farther away - I often pick out all the stitches in a particular section and then start it over again.I don't enjoy that, but it's a necessity. I enjoy the result.

So, now it's nearing completion, and I have a name for it: Blood Moon. :-)
