\"Intentions<\/a><\/p>\n

Last night I placed the 1,476th and final intention on the blanket. Done. I must say my body will be happy to have a break from the work, which has been physically demanding. Each of the sewn squares required six separate, knotted stitched. As the weather has gotten warmer I’ve wanted to be outside more but finishing has kept me standing at the studio counter. So today I will be out walking to catch up on fresh air and sunshine.<\/p>\n

One more interesting statistic from the blanket: one small sewing needle was used for the whole job. Not one type of needle. Just one, individual needle. When I started, there was only one needle I could find in the studio. I meant to get more, but didn’t get to it. And then that needle began to take on ritual significance. Now and then I would drop it, but it never when down a radiator or anything. It always came back!<\/p>\n

And now it’s time to celebrate.<\/p>\n

As promised, an exhibition of the blanket and other recent work will be held in my temporary Riversdale studio. The details are below, and all are welcome. Hope to see you.<\/p>\n
