Slowly getting the hang of our updates. There definitely are improvements in the offing. For now, I am just moments shy of a good, long walk in the spring air, then it will be time to walk to the periodontist for the insertion of an implant (yes, sympathy is welcome!)
In other words, this post will be quick. A report in pictures. WH = “White House”, the very original name for this piece.
WH – scraps laid out
WH – seamed, with some embroidery
WH – pre-whitening close up
WH – same area, both whitened and layered (the silk had color and pattern)
WH – sheers pinned over whitening white running stitch (grey splotchy roof does not stay)
WH – sheers pinned on the other side of the roof
WH – more whitening with the addition of white running stitches (grey roof is gone)
WH – celebrating the shredding orange silk by tacking it down; one sheer had embroidered loops on it, seen here
WH – getting there
WH – hanging
what is interesting is the house has a sense of space here. the white made it a space.
youthink? before whitening, I didn’t even SEE the house… so I suppose the white brought it into being as well.
whitening–sounds like another dental procedure. you have my sympathies–my sister has a mouthful of implants–they sure look pretty. and so glad to see all the stages and parts of this cloth. yes indeed.
it’s so good to see this in such detail, and love how you explained your process. i soaked it all in, it’s lovely,dee
a beautiful gathering of scraps. not to worry about the implant procedure. i’ve had 2 and they were not bad at all…just a little discomfort for a while. come home and watch this wonderful video on color. i think you will enjoy it. hope the link works.

the teeth and whitening?! your comments got me thinking about bones/teeth/and white… structures. I’ve had two teeth rot from the inside out this past 12 months, so it’s the second implant. I know it won’t be THAT bad, but I nevertheless dread it!
thanks for the link, Deanna — I’m going to save it for when I get home, ice pack pressed against cheek.
love the result and enjoyed seeing how you got there; good luck with your implant, hope it goes well. I have a crown (not sure that’s the same thing) over a molar I bit in half! the whole procedure was far less scary/painful than I had dreaded.
Dee, you have read my mind. I have a white house cloth brewing for my April moon cloth! Ha. It’s nowhere near the beauty of this one you’ve made though, the softness, the vibe of your colors. Not even close. I do love yours so much. I may have to change things up. 😉 We’ll see. xo
Thanks Peggy. Maybe it is skmething about April that wants soft colors. I look forwrd to seeing yours.
Love your stitches
this cloth makes me wish that it could BE in all it’s stages simultaneously…
arranged in a row…like ten cloths merging…i really really love it
your stitch and scraps melt together into a dream like place.
& catching up on your world here…so much going on in it, wishing you peace to wrap up in.
Thanks Cindy. Spring is cutting something loose here…
