      It is stunning., had to pause to take a detailed look. Normally stars especially 3, 5 & 6 legged variety not my 'favourite' - love the form of these 4 legged ones.
      Would make a lovely digital print on fabric. 🙏

    Oh! I had to stop the video right after the quilt post to exclaim! It is so beautiful I was led to tears. In this time of so much strife in the world, it is so wonderful to see how when the pieces made by individual stitchers from around the world are put together something so beautiful is created. My star was not in that post because I have yet to post on facebook. Maybe I will make that happen today! Thank you all who participated!

    Oh I must tell you, I woke early and was watching this video, when I became aware of a light in the window. Not a reflection of my screen or my lamp. It was the moon, a glorious left handed curve of a half moon. It felt truly magical !

    After listening to the whole video,a memory can back from so long ago. My dutch mother used to sing me a song about the moon. I then hunted on google and found it after 60 years. I felt i could hear Mum all over again. Thank you for bringing back this memory. I will stich a photo of Mum on my moon😊

    I love what you say about slow stitching is about the process. It really is. And I agree the back is part of that. It occurs to me that it's actually life. The part we allow people to see is pretty and in order. But behind all that perfect, beautiful life is usually a jumbled up mess😂 that isn't very pretty but a necessary part of the journey of life. 😃

    Wow - Deborah did such a great job collating all of those beautiful friendship stars into the virtual quilt at 3:31 Absolutely stunning!
    Kathryn, your she wolf is glorious! Dances with Wolves is one of my favourite films although it always makes me cry. The sound of a wolf howling always gives me full body chills... 🐾🐺🌕
    Amazing how much our teachers affect us. My needlework teacher, Mrs Daggett, was very strict and hardly ever gave praise so when she gave me an A for my bias binding (all the way around an apron) I was thrilled and I've loved doing it ever since.
    I definitely won't be abandoning you in 2025. Very relieved that our project won't involve wrestling with yards of wedding etc. 😂

And when visiting the zoo, he would howl at the wolves and they would sometimes howl back at him, very special moments i will never forget. So looking foward to making this one. And love the words.

    Here I was happily trying my log cabins for the first time and this really caught my attention! I love the moon and I love wolves, however I immediately thought of an eagle, because I’d love to fly free as a bird…
    Just as a curiosity, in Portuguese, we say “o lobo” for the masculine and “a loba” for the feminine. And moon, “a lua”, is feminine and sun, “o sol”, is masculine. I love the English language, but I think it may lack something, due to the absence of feminine/masculine.
    I wasn’t the one who talked about the length of the thread, but in Portuguese we have an expression for those who use long threads: “linha de preguiçosa”, which means something like “thread of a lazy person”. My mother used to say that to me, but as she never did it in a depreciating manner, I still use a long thread 😂
    I love the back of the pieces so much that, either I don’t cover them or I take a photo if I do 🥰
