“Everything I Do Is Stitched with Its Color.”

“Your absence has gone through me like thread through a needle. Everything I do is stitched with its color.”– W.S. Merwin

Do you find this sentiment to be true in your own life?

• If so, what color is the thread? Why that color?
• As you look at the stitchwork, what picture is currently being created? How does the “special thread” add to the picture? Does it, in any way, take away from the picture you had previously been creating?
• Will it be possible to incorporate the “special thread” into your tapestry and create a beautiful piece of art?
• Does Hurricane Katrina also have a specific thread color? If so, do you still see its affect on the picture or have the colors of the last 10 years overtaken the strong impact of the “Katrina thread”?
