Margery, I guess we do.
Cally...Ah, grazie, Doni.<br /><br />Margery, I guess we do. <br /><br />Cally, because this is a guild exhibition, I do not so much worry but feel annoyed by the piece's many technical problems. I think I would like it more if it were some other purpose. But it IS scoopable, yes. <br /><br />Lynn, a kindred mind. No, the next piece that I'm moving onto is on the same warp, but in terms of weft colors, much simplified, and in terns of drafts, more subtle. Which will be more to my taste, but with less wow factor, I expect. I also feel a strange mix of wanting to make something spectacular, (and I think colors are the easiest way in the first instance,) vs I myself not wanting attention as a person. <br /><br />Trapunto, I know what he means. If I didn't have to post it to the exhibition contact immediately, this would have sat under the couch for more than a few months, which is where many of my stuff is cellared and aged.

Last night before sleep I was mourning about how the sofa pillow covers I spent the weekend sewing wrinkled immediately on the pillows, and the button plackets didn't overlap enough, and altogether they just weren't worth the wait and the effort (I laboriously picked apart the stitching on some Indian block printed place mats to make them, and spent a lot of effort finding a complementary fabric for the backs), and my husband said, "Give it some time." And then I complained some more, and he laughed and said it again. So that's what I'm doing. Even when I don't think time ought to help, I know it often has in the past.Trapuntohttp://trapunto.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-13550076144772404552012-03-13T05:03:10.384+13:002012-03-13T05:03:10.384+13:00I always have some sadness, a bit of a let down, w...I always have some sadness, a bit of a let down, when I finish a piece. And often I think to myself: Hmm, I could have done a better job, technically or in terms of the meaning of the piece. That's a beautiful piece of fabric, but I get that you're not completely satisfied with it. Would you consider making it again, but with some changes? Or would prefer to move on entirely?Lynnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-84190955373687233262012-03-13T04:39:02.247+13:002012-03-13T04:39:02.247+13:00I think it has turned out beautifully.
