It's crazy warm here with some wild thunderstorms expected which I look forward to because it is awfully dry here.
I don't have much to say today.
Don't lose heart popped into my mind while stitching yesterday on this cloth woven base that was patiently waiting for like 3 years.
Love is a patchwork, keep your needle threaded.
I have some follow up doctors appts and stuff to attend to. I'll take a little time.
I have found 32 videos that seem to talk about edges , I will add them to The Zone glossary page for edge soon.
This is SO beautiful!!! It spoke straight to me . . . .
I like that it can do that.
I’ve been waiting on a tattoo appointment for many months now to have “keep your needle threaded” tattooed on my arm. As a reminder to me and a note to people I meet to stay prepared for whatever life hands you. Glad to hear the doctors appointment has gone well. Hoping for a storm here tonight.
Ha!, Perfect!
This one is SO beautiful. Look forward to those videos. Don’t lose heart; yes!
how scary right?
Love your work Jude. All the best to you. 🥰
Hey thanks!
Soft heart and sleepy Soul-O…perfect. Hoping the follow-ups go/went well 💚
32 videos about edges is pretty amazing.
today went well.
Everything seems rather amazing lately
So happy to hear that, Jude 🫂
Turning a square into a heart …. there are some “squares” out there who could use a little heart stitching! Keep your need threaded indeed! Never know when it will come in handy… I mend a lot of stuffed animals and kids’ backpacks these days – Granny can fix it!
Ha! Yes, I’m in repair mode too.
Such an interesting look on Solo’s face . 😻
I enjoy stitching hearts .. they connect you . I’ve always loved your hearts Jude 💚 always so motivating .
Thankyou 🙏🧚♀️
He always has a look.
Hearts were always something silly to me until I started stitching…
Safest too and ready whenever. Yes stay threaded.
threaded.
Life is a patchwork so A soft heart helps.
I can almost hear cat approve purr.
patchwork is such a great metaphor…
He is always purring.
Jude~ This heart…soft & worn and still here. Perfect. 💕
still here…
All of your creations look so soft and inviting. This one is another beautiful piece.
I love stitching on a cloth woven base…
Ya gotta have heart! It appears we are getting “the look” from Soul-O.
How I wish we had summer thunderstorms
Big one coming any minute, the cat will be under the bed.
Tha heart waits patiently. I love that.
patience, I am always learning
That is a gorgeous stitched heart you’re making Jude! 💗💗💗
I hope your doctor appointments all go well, and no severe weather where you are 🤞🏼🤞🏼
💙🕊️
was a good day
What a gorgeous heart. May your Drs appointments go well. May your health be improving. And may indoor plumbing happen for you. 🩷
all is going well
Hoping all goes well with your medical appointments. I’ve reached the age (apparently) where my medical appointments far surpass my social schedule. But if it keeps the old bones moving it’s worth it.
Love the heart.
I know what you mean
Lots going on in my world today… that heart feels very soothing. Good luck with the follow-ups. 🩷
Hope everything is ok
Hi Jude, I never think of taking small pieces with me for medical appointments, I usually take a book. I always took mitten knitting but instead of moaning about not having stitching time, I’m going to take small pieces to stitch on. Thanks again for inspiration and hopefully another way to stop the heart racing anticipation…Thinking of you.
I call it pocket cloth… I get a lot done while waiting…
Love is a patchwork. Love that! Peace and ease on all the follow-ups. Thank you … for sharing. ❤️
a patchwork with a lot of ragged edges…
whatta purr-fect pocket traveling companion to take with you to those doc appts! soul-o looks like he’s ready for a nap. love thunderstorms…
he’s always ready for a nap.
I hear thunder.
I’m funny. I drive around with a floss threaded needle poked into the cloth roof of my old Toyota just in case I need it, and so I’ll remember where I put my travel needle and thread🥰
Ha!
My edges feel frayed at the moment. A heart to soothe them feels like a plan.
I’m happy that your appointments are going well Jude xx
frayed edges are so beautiful…
I love that! Driving around with a threaded needle. Thanks for the suggestion!
Take heart…as in courage. But maybe also how we travel? With our hearts? This one is lovely and worth the wait.
It’s hard to define, heart…
Heartfelt prayers that all your follow ups go well.
❤️
There is great softness in the background woven pieces. Cushioning the heart?
That is really a sweet thought.
We got that thunderstorm last night. It was awesome to watch (although my dogs did not enjoy it). I have seen so many lightning strikes at one time in a long time. So much noise but I sat on our deck until it started raining. So amazing. I know you’re taking your time so you keep getting healthy. Love this heart!
I love a good storm.
You never know when you will need to slip an extra “stitch” in your heart, memories become the thread that holds it together… may your appointments go easy for you.
That thread…
I don’t like doctor stuff.
Same here. Don’t like the doctor stuff.
😂
What a great mantra: Keep your needle threaded. Hoping all goes well.
Yeah, it works…
I agree!
😊
