i left my home in georgia


i think the new home studio is going to be productive.
i did more work yesterday than i have in ages.

this is a hard piece for me, my old homeplace.
i could hardly bear to leave it.
i still can't think about it without hurting.
so i'm stitching it.
and the cloth takes it, and holds it and keeps it.

this is just the beginning, and with bits of cloth from cindy and nancy.

ps...i'm going to new hampshire in august to study with india!

    Oh Dru, I know how it is to miss home, a place. This start looks great. So nice to see you enjoying (even if bittersweet subject) the fabrics. Have fun this summer :)

    It happened to me once to have this excruciating pain in me and I took a cloth and put my feelings in it, as you are doing.
    All the best in your new environment.

    I just found your blog today by happy accident & felt compelled to leave a comment as this post resonates so strongly with me. I left my home in England to move to the US last summer & have been stitching 'home' ever since. Your words really caputured how I feel, so poignant.
