GAIL BYRNES

Although I enjoy many forms of creative expression
and art making, it always seems to come back to sew-
ing, which was my first love. Recently I was introduced
to slow stitching through several classes with Heather
Layfield. Slow stitching to me means meditative hand
stitching, sometimes following the patterns in the fabric,
sometimes meandering into my own patterns. I get lost
in the colors and textures created.

This small wall hanging was created using scraps from
my large stash, and luscious variegated threads.

“The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul.”
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
