Punctuated by Blue

On our walk this morning I was drawn to the bits of blue in this little patch of ground....then realized they were paint drips from arrows and lines sprayed for some road work.  

But it was still kind of beautiful in its own way.  There's a lot going on in this small space....and the colors...textures...and bits of frost are somehow punctuated by the blue. 

Then there was this beautiful scene with the tall grass punctuated by the blue sky.

And as Paul and I turned the corner down our street....I was blown away by the bright blue sky.

But I do I think Paul is the punctuation mark in this scene.

A few people asked me about the "Stitch Meditation" Facebook group I referred to yesterday.  Meditative stitching is not new...but Liz Kettle started a movement and gave it a name back in 1994. 

Here Liz's website....and if you scroll down a bit you will see the link to the free Facebook group where people share their work.

Stitch meditation....sometimes called slow stitching...is taking the time to mindfully create something by hand with just a needle and thread. 

I enjoy the meditative slow stitching of these paper pieced little quilts I've written about so many times. And I'm looking forward to my thumbs getting back to normal so I can stitch again.
