You cut a length of thread, pull the end through the eye of a needle and knot one end.

You take a piece of fabric and push your needle into one side of the cloth, then pull it out on the other until it reaches the knot.

You leave a space. You push your needle back thru the fabric and pull it out on the other side. 

You continue until you have made a line, or a curve, or a wave of stitches or simply a mark.

​That is all there is: thread, needle, fabric, and the pattern the thread makes. 

This is sewing.

Words from the book….THE THREADS OF LIFE
 A History of the World through the Eye of a Needle
CLARE HUNTER

There is a time when you need to refocus on the task in hand... with a few words and great images, it is a thought process and a journey.

Without thought, there is no art, when there is no art there is a huge hole...

​

                                                                                "I am not old she said,
                                                   I am not old she said..."
                  But the music continues to play, swirling with the first Opus and gathering pace                                                     as it comes to the finale.

With notes in a precious book, tis time to reflect and move on....
