THE STITCHING GOES ON
Having received some necessary floss from my design partner Libby the stitching on Sandycombe continues. I wonder if other designers reach the point I do when stitching their designs. At some turning point I wind up thinking "right, fine, it works -- now I just want to finish stitching the blasted thing and move on."
SURFING FOR EMBROIDERY
With all the lack of peace in our world today I've been re-reading Erich Fromm's "The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness" and it doesn't seem as if humankind has made much progress since 1973 when the book was written. I decided to see what embroiderers had to say about destruction and found a link to an inspiring article about creativity on the Canadian Guild site. As a social group we have no choice but to let things "stand" once we've made mistakes but I hope when we take up the same problems in the future we too can achieve "a triumph of creation over destruction."
