Eva’s Byte #466 – The Mend

“Neither a sew-and-sew nor a mender be.”

That’s been my mantra ever since the importance of being earnest to write books took precedence. My previous days of crafting when I’d create my own patterns for designing and sewing clothes for various block dolls are long gone. That includes my sewing machine, stockpiles of fabric, and accessories after the fact.

Neither am I of the mindset to mend. Nevertheless, I do have one of those traditional tomato pin cushions with various sized needles jabbed into it.

The other day I removed one the size of a turkey basting implement. After slipping the thread through the eye of the needle, and knotting the double thread, I proceeded to actually mend a patchwork quilt mallard whose neck had sustained a tear.

Like bowing a violin with much effort to poke the needle through material and stuffing, I got my suturing done.

In the capacity of a writer, I’m stitching the draft of chapter 54 along my Contemporary work in progress (1072 words thus far).

*May each of us mend our ways as needed.

My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
