I have a collection of small and large blocks, embroidered pieces, and various unfinished experiments - some were created during pattern testing, while others were trials of new ideas that never developed into complete patterns or finished projects.
Last year I came across a post on Instagram - a video featuring a glimpse of a beautifully stitched large scroll by a talented maker - Michèle. I was really curious to know what those scrolls were as I never saw them before. Michele, seeing my interest, kindly sent me a few large wooden spools hoping I would find a good use for them.
After finishing this delightful little Meditation Scroll, my attention shifted to the large scrolls. I felt they would be the perfect way to showcase all the unfinished bits and bobs while also serving as a source of inspiration for me.
First, I cut, actually ripped, which is the best way to get a nicely frayed edge, a pice of backing cotton. Then, I went through my box of UFOs. It was a nostalgic trip down the memory lane. Seeing these forgotten pieces brought back memories of the fabrics I loved, the techniques I had explored, and the ideas I once tried to bring to life. It felt like reconnecting with old friends.
What a lovely idea and your little pieces are delightful.
