A 4x4 inch square made with Cherrywood fabric in orange and yellow, divided into four quadrants. Yellow hand-stitched lines form concentric circles radiating outward from the center. At the center, there is a small mother-of-pearl button. The overall stitching creates a harmonious, meditative pattern. Stop killing the children!

Going round in circles: a small impression of my exhibition at the Crea Weekend in Hardenberg (NL). Lovely to share my work with so many people. Lots of wonderful conversations.

Space, I think I'll need some when I put it all together. Also space because sometimes I need a break but still need to keep stitching. Hope that makes sense

Thanks! The letters spell words or phrases that have a relation to what is going on in the world around me and how I feel about that. I always start at the end so if you reed top to bottom you can see what I'm saying. Purple/pink belongs together and the green ones are another set.
