I love that the stitches ...Wonderful and beautiful. I love that the stitches are in small sections, inviting you to pick it up and do a little more when you do need to stop and slow down. I am inspired to do a small piece and intend to ‘give it a go’ as we say in Australia. There are so many clever people in this world and you are one of them, Judy. 😊Diane (Australia)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-35242641789466753412023-05-11T22:21:32.601-04:002023-05-11T22:21:32.601-04:00Wonderful work....Wonderful work....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-3378594091040572312022-11-13T06:45:14.409-05:002022-11-13T06:45:14.409-05:00Looks divine - I would love to see the finished pi...Looks divine - I would love to see the finished piece please 🙏🏻Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-91534625884306779182022-05-03T07:39:27.232-04:002022-05-03T07:39:27.232-04:00This is to answer the last two questions:

This piece is entitled Beginning with Time You can see it digitally on my website judithemartin.com or on my new work blog judithmartin2012.blogspot.com<br />It was shown in public probably for the last time in the fall of 2021 in the exhibition entitled In the Middle of the World, a two person show with Penny Berens. Beginning with Time is in private collection.<br /><br />2 what material did I use? The base fabric is an old dark blanket. I applied long strips of blanket cloth to that blanket and used seed stitch to adhere them. The blanket cloth strips were a variety of colours, all dyed with natural dyes. The threads I used to make the repeated seed stitch are silk or silk and wool blends and I purchased them in a knitting shop. Most of them are commercially dyed green. <br /><br />thanks for asking questions xoJudy Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619951031502775381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-31008852635327606292022-05-02T02:33:00.003-04:002022-05-02T02:33:00.003-04:00What material did you use?What material did you use?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-56513910799295896662020-02-23T01:22:20.222-05:002020-02-23T01:22:20.222-05:00Is it possible to see this piece finished anywhere...Is it possible to see this piece finished anywhere? susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17999232957480033416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-50164127975768461692014-12-22T22:33:12.447-05:002014-12-22T22:33:12.447-05:00Thanks for the link to Newfoundland.
