i love running stitch it just keeps on going forever running and running. the name says it all. when the thread runs out [it likes to run, too] i just find another piece. you can run in circles or loops or up and down in tight rows mapping memories and drawing cornfields with a line of thread. you can piece together cloth, quilt a blanket, sew a dress. running stitch can be fast or slow, wild or carefully considered. running stitches take me to the places where i need to be in my mind as well as on the cloth

they trace the labyrinths of thought

run red lights on memory lane and then keep on running

like me

i have been sewing since i can remember but it’s still not very neat
