It's the end of the winter session, and critique time for the digital photography studio class. We now use Photoshop instead of chemicals to develop our photos. So, a few more quilts are brought to "life" (with another shout out to Will and Jack). I pay attention to the composition and lighting, so that much of the work is done inside the camera. The photos are printed, and it's over to the sewing machine to draw on them using the free-motion foot and different coloured threads. This is needle on paper, and gaping holes are not my intention. Using thread, I respond differently to each of the figures.
Mom gave me these lovely needles when she and dad packed up their house and moved to the condo. They are remnants from her own mom's sewing kit, and now I put them to good and constant use, to sew up knitted pieces, quilt and appliqué, sew a button or two, and to darn the occasional pair of socks.
