| Tools of the trade. |
Pillow made from a Mola textile. Molas are made by the Kuna, an indigenous people of Panamá of the San Blas Islands. The Kuna technique has inspired by own needlework.The fabrics are appliqued or reversed appliqued and then cut away to reveal the layers underneath.

This is a pillow front that I haven’t made into a pillow because I keep thinking to have it framed for a wall and you can’t rotate that– the same as a pillow. 3 vintage needlepoints dyed and cut and surged together.

| Quilting! |
This pillow, an Andy Warhol inspired pattern if there ever was one, is one of those things that when I saw it I snapped it right up. I wanted it. I loved it. It was fantastic! Pause… I thought to myself: Wait a minute, is it ugly? It is ugly. It’s kind of ugly. I love it. I’m getting it.
I might take it apart and make a pair–but at the moment I like the color combo with the chartreuse velvet chair in my work room just too much.

This is our second annual Valentine’s pillow. (We being me and my pillows). The background is silk. The red and pink is from a 60’s woman’s scarf. Cut into small circles and hand sewn. Not only inspired by Valentine’s Day, but also the quinceañera dress shops in Downtown LA and my favorite Pixie’s song in particular this video:

As I remember it, the story is this. There was an old Hindu monk who spent his time sitting under a tree writing in a notebook. This made the other monks nervous. They suspected he was writing about them. The old monk died. The other monks found his notebook to see what he had written about them. All the pages were covered with the word, RAM, over and over again, the old monk had been sitting under the tree writing the name of God.
Fill in your own moral/meaning if you like.
