Happy New Year

I am back from wonderful travels and now making bags this week and very much looking forward to starting a new embroidery piece next week.

The pleasure of making useful things

I have been making Art for a long time now, to think about and to emotionally respond to and to hang on the wall. Twenty years ago, as a young painter I was hand sewing baby clothes for my daughter, then embroidering them and then got the idea of embroidery as Art medium. I had been hand sewing in the first place because I hated my sewing machine. Recently, I had the happy misfortune of that machine breaking, and replaced it with a nice one. I have become enamored with machine sewing again. I am in no way abandoning my love of hand embroidery or making Art, it's just a nice break to work fast and make useful things that are all about how they physically feel and function in the world.
