I don't usually create artwork in my dreams. When I do, I pay attention.
An interesting side note:
I've been mending my Crazy Quilt, and I've been in a constant battle with Mr Lou because he'll plant himself on top of my working area. He stayed on the couch the entire time I worked on this, and my work surface was the table with the quilt. Very curious.
Room 207, The Kinney, Venice Beach, stARTup LA Art Fair
Stitching the journeys at the Kinney (2/16):
At the end (5/1):
The one color I need to finish the piece, DMC floss #907. On order.
Final A-Z Challenge thoughts:
As I said in the previous post, I'm so grateful for this challenge as it forces me to finish projects! I never would have gotten this far with Stitching the World, if not for the daily alphabetical deadlines.
Stitching was a super soothing/ calming activity to perform during COVID April. It was delightful to get my hands working embroidery floss again. And the colors! Yum!
I discovered some new blogs to follow, along with some old favorites. My personal A-Z blog roll is down in the lower left of the site. (Had to remove a couple because your images are ginormous.) I managed to visit more blogs and comment more often than typical due to working-from-home and lack of supervision (hehheh).
Thanks to the A-Z Blogging Challenge team for all that you do!
One request: make an A-Z Challenge Instagram account so us visual people can tag you!
(I'll even manage it for you if you want!)
I must thank the A-Z Blogging Challenge for keeping me on track and actually getting this project [almost] all stitched! I will write up a conclusion with my thoughts on the challenge later in the week.
