Quilting on holiday.
The Sizzix Big Shot that I bought used finally arrived in the mail and two days of over 39 weather which made me unable to do much of anything else gave me this while binging the Fringe series.
Missing five pieces. Have to drag the cutter out again.
Black and white to better visualize the pattern.
The first in a new series called "Findling" (2026-)
Quotes on found embroidered tablecloths (mostly 100% cotton)
“Findling” is the German term for glacier erratic - a large rock transported by a glacier and deposited someplace other than its original source when the glacier melts.
The pieces of the series are made up of tablecloths donated to the charity organisation I volunteer at. Since they had been stored in a cardboard box in a cellar, most of the beautifully embroidered tablecloths in the box had heavy signs of ageing (yellow lines, spots, etc.) and therefore would have had to be thrown away by the charity shop. I took them home, washed and treated them and added some embroidered quotes of my own that i had collected over time via Pinterest, tumblr and other parts of the Internet.
By keeping the cloths alive and repurposing them, I wish to keep the memory of the unknown person alive who embroidered al the flowers and other motives on them, while bringing them into a present through the addition of “pebbles” from memes, quotes, random inspirational or snarky comments online.
Like the “Findling” or “little found thing”, both the clothes and the comments have traveled or rather are travelling into a different space and/or medium than their original source.
Little sock repair whimsy.
Just took my multiple attempts but here it finally is. The pattern is actually really well written, I was just too stupid to read properly. Can heartily recommend:

New sock creatures alive. If someone strongly identifies with one of them and wants to give them a home, will send out for the cost of postage.
