There was a lot of path to stitch, but that gave me plenty of thinking and experimenting time. I started playing with the Milanese Pinwheels when I wanted a break from the endless limestone pavement, and began by using them in the interlocking form shown in the book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It looked better with somue actual pinwheels, rather than the skeleton pinwheels I used to determine the placement, but again, I thought this was too congested, pulling away from the border a bit too anxiously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s good to have progress to report!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
