I stitch this piece every day. I use one complete skein of embroidery floss and scraps of cloth that I find in my basket.It's about time, but not about the week or the season. It's more about the whirl of it all, the unending wonder of each day, the task of making time tangible.

How big is it and how big will it get?
I would love to be able to hold it, it must feel amazing, looks amazing especially the woven illusion (though that seems the wrong word).

Hi Judy; this concept of just taking strips and laying them down with stitch is really appealing.
You have the patience of Job! Beautiful.
you got that right.
Peaceful process, and a lovely set of windows as backdrop. Gilly
like a meditation. love it.
Both your words and the piece are beautiful. At first I thought it was woven, a rag rug. Wonderful!
just lovely - a wondrous ongoing creation

Wondrous... - can you tell where one day ends + the nexr starts...?
I likr the idea of sewing in a project as a ritual.
yep, i want to touch this.
This is beautiful - how in the world do you do this?
this is just magnificent, I cannot imagine how large it will become!
Each piece is about 15 inches by 24 inches.
I plan to keep working on the pieces for at least one year.
So far, I have 4 completed - and am well into the 5th.
I began this on July 10. Each piece of fabric covers a two week time period (aproximately).
I have been invited to show this piece in a solo exhibition in 2012.
The curator is assuming that it will take the whole gallery space.
It's good to have this affirmation. It keeps me motivated to continue.
