I love the freedom, the texture...it is beautiful, and I can sense the calm you felt with the stitching. That's my favourite aspect of embroidery, how it makes me slow down focus, relax!

Your post made me think about the novel i'm reading, The last runaway by Tracy Chevalier. It's the story of a young english quaker who emigrates from England to Ohio around 1850, it deals a lot with quilting, stitching and searching of the inside peace. I love the resonance of your Stiched Journal Project, i love the way it makes links between our crafty works, our vision of life, our reading, our feeling ... it's a powerfull and strong project.

The colors are so, so subtle, and your decision to keep the fabric edges raw works so well with the overall composition.<br /><br />Bravo!

Don't bind it though, I like the way the edges are unfinished and raw. it would detract from all your other raw edges and the delicate way they work together. You would also be introducing a new element that may un-ballance what you have already achieved. But I do agree the edges need some definition, may be some rows of running stitch in a contrast colour or a simple blanket stitch? <br />Well you did say you wanted to be one of my students didn't you? he he.
