Have I told you folks about Slow Cloth? Well hold on to your socks. This seems a good follow-up to my interview with Susan on Friday. I discovered them here on HandEye Magazine (drool). I go to visit those pieces frequently. Slow Cloth has a Facebook group as well, if you are interested.
In the meantiime, here are some of my extremely slow cloth pieces. My definition of "slow" in this case is: this is my relaxing-in-the- evening work, doodling around and playing with the pretty threads and colors. No pressure, no end product. There is a great value in that, don't you think? These pieces wind up being works (or is that "plays") in progress for as long as they want to be. The second one is sewn to an old canvas. Tactile (tactilian?) pleasures.

Don't you just LOVE finding treasures like that!!!
LOVE your slow cloth - I'd have that hanging in my studio as inspiration for sure...LOL!
We should to a trade once my little Slow Cloth piece is done (within the next week or so).
what a fabulous concept; it's how I feel about my art journal, and I have to say I loved doing bits n pieces on a corset round robin I did last year and have been trying to work out how to translate that into something I can do regularly.
I find these colors very relaxing!
I guess this would be a great way
to have a tactile experience
oh yea. you're talking my language!! slow stitchin' just for the fun of it. wonderful stuff!
hello, love this slowcloth concept, how would you make a quilt from old cloths and use this process?
Thank-you Linda
This is a great idea and not one I am familair with at all. Thanks so much for sharing Diana.
Diana... I LOVE this idea... I have been fawning over a book I have on crazy quilt stitches but have yet to dive into the actual doing. I just need to create a small sampler that I can try my hand at.
