I think being part of this community, w/jude's leading the way, has helped me to let go of my pile of unfinished guilt. i like how you're honoring it. I'm working on seeing these pieces, not as failures, but practice steps, stepping stones, or moments that have passed & appreciating them for just that. i think they will feel better w/the pressure off of them!<br /><br />hope your healing continueshandstorieshttp://handstories.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7270328419517591210.post-40796267042449252702012-12-05T17:56:54.076-07:002012-12-05T17:56:54.076-07:00Yes, just go with the flow!

I was just thinking this...I so relate to this Joe. I was just thinking this morning...when was the last time you finished a cloth? I start something new, and it speaks to me for a while, and then I become disenchanted with it. I dont want to pick it up...but I try and force myself too (but I dont...I start another cloth!!!!). I am wondering/hoping, that one day maybe they will all come together as a great big whole!<br />I like the sound of your journey in cloth and words. Both such a huge part of you.<br /><br />Jacky xoxJackyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07347191565099767347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7270328419517591210.post-70722649274817780012012-12-04T14:50:24.269-07:002012-12-04T14:50:24.269-07:00The Steam Trunk Home for Wayward Cloths!

I also find myself increasing unwilling to FORCE a quilt's finishing, OR to work with cloth that I hate the feel of... in fact, I can't believe how long it's taken me to let myself have a preference for softer, needle-willing fabrics! <br /><br />In any case, as your neck and back heal given enough time and rest, so will the fragments find a way to be together. Thanks for this post. It really says so much about being - being in a body, being in life, being in a creative process.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
