Phase 1 of this fabric concertina is complete: the initial stitching together of layers on each panel. I stitched the Threadcrumbs<\/a> patches to their backing cloth and the very thin dyed cloth to a gauze backing for more substance. I used metallic thread, blue for what I’m considering the front and gold for the back. Although I hesitated about using metallic thread due to the gaudy bling factor, it’s done now. The configuration is set as shown below, although there might still be tweaks required. I think it’s a nice balanced layout that will “read” interestingly when assembled as a concertina. Phase 2 will be embellishing some or all of the panels with stitched motifs. I’m thinking mostly thread beads representing seeds, but maybe some seedlings too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While stitching, I think about the book, the title, how I feel about it, what it’s trying to convey. The working title had been Blizzard of Seeds, which was the packet name from the threadcrumbs<\/a> shop. The theme is early spring and the juxtaposition of snow, melting, greenery poking up here and there. Kind of astringent, bitter, and maybe dreamy too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While looking for the names of the moons by month online, I stumbled instead on a baby name generator. Under names that mean moon, the first listed was the Greek name Adrastea. It’s the name of one of the moons of Jupiter and means “inescapable.” I liked it well enough to use as a working title for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
