I've been having such fun going "back to the beginning" with my stitching and really exploring the potential of simple stitches...in prep for my new class...but really for me! <br /><br />I'm so happy to hear that you've gotten a copy of my book...really honored...since I so admire your work! I hope that you enjoy trying out the techniques..it may even be a fun way to involve your children too.

I've been thinking about Art and Soul but haven't gotten myself together to apply...wasn't sure what the best class would be for that group...and many classes seem very project-oriented. I'll have to re-think that. Teaching at Artistic Artifacts in March.

Great post. I was a Drawing major in art college and your stitch 'marks' are not unlike what I did with various writing/mark-making implements, comparing as you have the effects ... what a joy to see this crossover with stitch!
