Donalee Kennedy: Meditative Stitching…Breathe

What is Mediative Stitching?  Per Donalee it’s the deliberate hand stitching of lovely small pieces of fabrics joined together to make a pleasing composition. And, there's no pressure on the outcome. Why do meditative stitching? To still your mind, to be absorbed in the lusciousness of the moment and the materials. You could use silk, linen, wool, hand-dyed cotton, ribbon, yarn, lace, or beads. Each small 4” composition tells a story and takes you on a journey. Donalee will address design principles and color theories related to the project.
