Night sky whirl is the only piece I had with me while at the cottage for the month of August. It was quite a big family time: all four kids, their kids, their spouses, also Ned's brother and sister and also the brother's kids.
Also the 100th birthday of the building.
I returned to night sky whirl whenever I had a moment of quiet.
There were 18 of us around the table for a few days if you include the twins who were usually on laps.
It is possible to find stillness. Reading Calvin and Hobbs when you are 9 years old is one way.
The Doubtful Guest when you are 6 years old is another way.
This textile is made from soft, old, fabrics, mostly damask linens that have been dyed. The back of the piece is in three pieces the colours of sky and water at sunset.
This is the most painterly piece I've made for a long while.
All in keeping with All

ReplyDelete(((Judy))) seeing this is so perfect on this wild Blue Moon, Magic Days!
ReplyDeleteIt IS amazing that I posted about this piece when there is a full blue moon tonight! A blue moon is when there are 2 full moons in one month.
ReplyDeleteThanks for noticing that Mo. xo
What a beautiful family - and the children are growing so fast! I love your work, and particularly special, this piece glows with movement and brings soft and welcoming flow into the cloth and stitch. It will be a family treasure I am sure... cottage time memories!
