The word 'Journey' comes up in my
conversation often.
Of late, even more.
Last weekend my friend and fellow artisan,
Marcia Morse-Mullins
invited me over to learn a technique she
was calling 'Knotless Netting' or Looping.
She'd worked it around a rock and I was
all about learning how to do this.
I think my brain was all about
revisiting my younger hippie.
Why NOT!
So, I showed up with two orders of
fish tacos and a bottle of our
favorite red blend.
She instructs me to take this
linen thread
3x's around
this fabulous moonstone
[my favorite rock ever]
she'd provided for me.
Then I was to take a threaded
needle over the wrap and through the
'loop' and continue around.
This is the point where I began
laughing at myself loudly.
In my world this stitch is called
'detached buttonhole'.
And... I use to teach it from
coast to coast in my
tassel making classes.
Journey
Below is an example of another
way to work this crazy stitch.
I saw it, screen shot it,
and now can not find where to give credit.
But do not be surprised to see it
pop up in a present design I've
been a bit stumped on.
YOU just NEVER know
what will inspire
your next adventure
in stitching.

Her journey here was an
adventurous one for sure
and now, I'm positive
she
is on another.
She will always be close by
in my heart. My deepest
sympathies to her family.
