second window hanger

 

 

finished. i don't know if the string that goes
through the middle will be visible when i send
the pic to blog or not. but it is just a plain
hemp string that is separated into individual
fibers at both ends. there are also 3 hidden
things. i am unsure about these hidden things,
but...they are there.
after it arrives at Wendy's and the children
have it, i will talk about the 3.

 

standing

 

because of the size of the window hanger, the
invisible baste needs to be done
standing. i move back and forth, side to
side of the ironing board. it's night
and the kitchen light and sewing light are
the only lights inside and outside for some
distance. as i stitch, i
feel
an awareness of this....me, in this place,
moving back and forth
how each piece of the woven cloth is being
connected

another what is it.

 

i found this yesterday at the thrift shop. appears
to be a curtain? has these long strips sewn one on
back one on front. is this the way it would go?

invisible baste

 

an opportunity to experience this
cloth, thread by thread

here we go

 

 

 

 

this fabric is amazingly wonderfully wonderful.
it was a skirt i found at the thrift shop years ago
that i got just on a "feeling"...a kind of frumpy
skirt but something about the pattern....
woven like the one i made for myself in the first
Cloth to Cloth. Cut out. now to invisible baste
and see what all it wants.
this is the second and last window hanger for
Wendy's children.
the little butterfly being may or may not stay. am
trying to remain really empty of intent until the
basting is finished.
oh sigh.
