done. This piece, a 72" x 72" study of the good things being done by the Wolf River Conservancy has finally come to an end. This is a small detail. I have named it Stream of Consequences.
The SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Associates) exhibit, Earth Stories, will show the entirety of this piece in April of next year at the Michigan State University Art Museum. It has been a long journey of stitching stitching stitching. Now I think I will turn my thoughts to the thousands of other ideas I had while on that journey.
But first I will remove all trace of this one.

Working on final details of the Earth Stories piece. Lots of ends to bury. It's a slow and meditative process.
