An African Proverb

Its mosquito season here in Bangalore and I'm reminded every evening that small things can make a difference.

This is the next Textile Fragment I've completed. Soft lightweight denim onto which I've appliqued block printed flowers cut out of a curtain and some up and down button hole stitch as added embellishement. Chain stitched proverb.

So much to do but all those things are getting done bit by bit.

Have a great weekend.

That proverb always makes me smile. Nothing so persistent as a mosquito in your ear! I'm marveling at your neatly chain stitched words.

Maya I love the way you can turn something so simple into something so beautiful and poignant. Ah mosquitos, malaria's little angels of death...

I've never heard this proverb before...but so true! So much more interesting than the usual and beautifully stitched.--Julie
