We're working on seams in class...edges. I have been taking pictures of wrapping cloths next to toe wraps...colour next to white. What a contrast. The white is current, from now, yesterday, last week. The colour and pattern feel like a life time ago although it is only months. Measuring time in embroidery, a practice from which I am sure the world would benefit. and? if I counted, I wonder how many rouleau loops and prairie points I would have made over the past six months?

A gorgeous mixture, they look so tactile that I want to touch them. :)
Thanks, Karen, for these beautiful images. Your seams are an inspiration for someone like me who is still working on my wrapping cloth from one of your other classes. It's a reminder that beautiful seams are so important.
not to mention the knots! Isn't lovely to see them all together
so beautiful placed alongside each other.
I love the third pic with all the wonderful white at the top, then bits of colour, and back to more white. Those red and white striped circles caught my eye. scrumptious!
Oh that middle picture just makes me want piles of cloths with lovely seams just like that to pile around the house in beautiful piles!

Not just the seams karen - all those delicious folds that make me want to peep under each one. Beautiful work that must be a joy to arrange!
Beautiful! Did I spot a piece of selvage in the first photo?
Beautiful! can I have them all just to sit and look at and ponder over . . .
I don't know what the collective noun is for embroidery. Certainly not 'a gaggle'! But this is delicious. And I am 100% with you on the measurement of time by embroidery - as a step towards world peace. :D
So many beautifully embellished edges!
Maybe the collective noun for a lot of Karen's embroidery is "a ruffle"?
