Lost Sewing Project · Jan 31, 09:21 PM
I found an old sewing project in the space beneath the window seat in my bedroom. It was not cross-stitch, it was fine embroidery with silk threads and it was incredibly accomplished. Much of it was words but I could not make out what they said. It resembled from far away a pattern I saw a few weeks ago online involving daffodills and many lines of verse. Up close it was composed of tightly stitched creatures intertwined with my handwriting converted to thread. It was from a forgotten place in my past and I was astonished that I had done it, and that I had abandoned it. David was with me, as was his mother. It felt like we had lived through a nuclear war.
