A Bird in the Hand

The evolution of a piece of cloth. I began with an antique piece of cloth that already had some embroidery on it; then I stitched a plain cotton panel onto it, and continued. The cloth now measures 3 ft, 2 inches. I add to it as the spirit moves me. Part of me hopes it will never be finished, but I am not Penelope waiting for Ulysses, so it will be finished sooner rather than later, and I will be satisfied.
