FROM THE DESIGNER
“Time flies,” Virgil wrote many a moon ago. It seems like yesterday that I presented the 2023 stitch-a-long (SAL). Where has the year gone? And here we are - another year, another SAL.
For this year’s project, I decided to work on the theme of time and time passing. At the centre, we see the face of a clock with Roman numerals. Around it are three phases of the moon (1st quarter, full moon and 3rd quarter) in a starry sky to represent the eternal movement of the heavenly bodies.
A recent trip to Canada proved to be inspirational. We saw so many squirrels in our neighbourhood that I had to create something with squirrels. They were adorable running over the old houses in London, ON, gathering nuts and hiding them in the strangest places. The little parrots were inspired by those I saw at the home of Roxy Floss Co’s Kerri.
The stag with antlers turning into branches represents growth. It’s a reminder that, even though time might fly, in this very moment, we can choose to grow and develop as humans.
