One by One

I spent my days off during the winter break in my studio, oblivious to the weather outside, listening to classical music while stitching. This was my inspiration:



It was made as the December challenge for my FibreArts Toronto group. The theme was "wash, rinse, repeat". My first association was to hair. I must admit I had the "repeat" more in mind -- I wanted to repeat the use of fabrics already in my stash and I had the colour scheme left over from my slice of the "Orwell's Corners" quilt. The background is in shades of grey (self-explanatory), the squiggles are bright browns and reds (touch ups, perhaps?), and the circles with embroidery in the round and beading using circular beads and sequins are the bubbles of "wash and rinse".
