Stitch Therapy…My Changing World
Something about busy hands that free the mind to wonder
…to meditate…to pray
tiny stitches…like tears…
This piece, also known as Mending a Breaking Heart
began by stitching leftover scraps from my natural plant dyed wool journal
in a mosaic fashion onto a Osnaburg and cotton batting base.
This was really a “therapy stitch”...quiet, tiny stitches
as I contemplated my Mom starting hospice and my son graduating college and moving to NY.
These are the hands that taught me everything…
It’s just over a month now that Momma’s been gone…
so many changes this year…for me
and many in my circle…
some happy…some sad…some both at the same time.
and so I’ll continue adding stitches…

2019 Directory of Traditional American Craft...
One of my entries "Swan with Fish" was inspired by a 1810 watercolor and ink drawing from Pennsylvania found at the Free Library of Philadelphia rare book department.
