Medal

Stitching on a piece inspired by Haf Weighton for Textileartist.org Stitch Club. A medal for healing, repairing , mending. For me, if related to this uncertain time of Covid 19 I became quiet or quieter. Reflection of what the world had become before this Pandemic.

I quite like it as it is rather than cutting out to become a round medal. It was stitched onto two pieces of fabric that some time ago I had stitched together with folds and pleats as if to make a landscape. But this was put aside and found just as I was searching for fabric for this project. I like the landscape idea that this has been stitched on as it implies a quiet landscape ,in my backyard,with no need to rush off to participate in outside activities. A quiet , guilty pleasure.
