Seattle is beautiful right now. My eyes are very grateful for the bright sunshining days to stitch in. On the way to school, the lake sparkles in the morning light with Mt. Rainier majestic in the distance. Walking in the arboretum, I keep stopping to admire the pretty Magnolia blossoms and cherry trees that line the paths. There were also two ravens calling and flying in the tree tops the other day, the first time I've seen them here. Some pieces are getting ready for a shop update tomorrow. The finishing process has become a ritual that I really love. A quick loose sketch is made of each cloth with a few words or thoughts about it. One by one, I hold them, feeling and listening for story, until it all comes together...
