My story is that 25 years of playing hardcore soccer (age 39 to present), a contact sport if there ever was one, have resulted in a tear or two in the rotator cuff of my non-dominant (that would be my right) shoulder. [My advanced age doesn't help.] What I've learned is that even that distant part of the body is involved in the hand stitching that I am doing on my triptych. Darn.
So, I have been advised by those that gave me a most unwelcome cortisone shot and now have me in physical therapy that I must monitor my stitch time, lest I irritate my unhappy side.
The good news is that one of the triptych sections is virtually finished. That's all the good news for now.

Sorry about the pain, but love the work.
Hmmm...these look very similar to Sue Cavanaugh's shibori stitches. Maybe one day you should try them on white fabric, pull them up tight, and dye/paint them...hmmm. You have my sympathies on the shoulder, but I know you will figure out a way to continue doing what you love. Beautiful!
Wow, I have never noticed Sue Cavanaugh's pre-stitching. Maybe she's been reading my blog (hahaha). There's nothing new in the universe, that's for sure. Yesterday I stitched for two hours and I am okay. Thanks, Deb and Loris.
