Title: Morning Meditations

Artist: Mary Fran Brandenberger

I frequently start my day with a 4” piece of flannel, some scraps of hand/commercial dyed and printed fabric, some thread, and the breath. I allow my breath and the thread to take me over the surface of the square, mindful of my breath, allowing each stitch to be what it is. No stitches get removed. A knot becomes an observation,  a crooked or tangled thread a point of acceptance -all the time calming my brain and trying not to focus on the end product. This is about process and intentionality not about product. An active mindfulness process. 

I offer these stitch meditations for your own reflection.
