Since I finished these mini hangings (McCalls Quilting Dec 07) in November
Holly and Poinsettia. 15" X 9".
(or was it the end of October??) I've fancied a companion piece depicting another seasonal plant; mistletoe. However, if I wanted one, I'd have to design the pattern myself as I haven't seen anything of the kind in my web trawls. To this end, I collected images of mistletoe and let the creative process mull at the back of my mind until I had some time to sit down with paper, pencil and rubber.
This afternoon, the light having gone, I duly sat and began designing. I originally intended the mistletoe panel to be of the same size and same orientation but having drawn it out, I Like It Not. So, I'm going with an offshoot idea, which is to have a longer panel, landscape orientation and two sprigs of mistletoe. Now I have to decide whether I want the twigs to meet/cross in the centre, (does that provide a design opportunity? A pertinent symbol?) or the other way round.
Best sharpen the pencil, then! À bi!
