I was in Ottawa with family.
I've been working on this green piece solidly since.
I've only left the heart.
I've run out of fabric, but I keep going.
I scrounge yellows and creams to stretch the green.
This green nourishes me so much. The happiness of it. 
I'm also helped by the motion of my hands.
The earthiness of it. The hope in it
In and out the needle goes. In and out my breath.
I had the idea that I was nearly done.
But I'm not.

You're not done!!
Ha ha. No I am not. Still a bit tender in the middle xx
Tender green, yes, full of hope. And light
Stunning and joyful. This one speaks of the sweetness of spring.
The restorative properties of 'green' and hand stitch are vital at this time. I found it interesting that you thought you were finished but then reviewed that and continued on... I'm at a similar point in a large hand applique project myself. After a long day yesterday, it was tempting to say'enough' and sandwich then quilt what I have; but after sleeping on it decided I will continue to complete the original plan which is limited only by the 95cm x 190cm piece of background fabric!
so beautiful, the color cheers me up!
