Because I can’t begin to imagine how long it would take me to stitch all that joy and freedom, I’ve decided to create a response to each piece, stitching a visual representation of what a conversation with Nancy looks like. (When it happens, that is, cause she’s pretty much non-verbal.) (But when she does engage, let me tell you: it’s a riot of color and a romp of fun and a caper down a path you’d love to go down again and again and again.)

      thank you, sugar. it’s taking me a while to get my brain to play along. it keeps asking “what does a conversation looks like on any given day, and a conversation with nnancy? you’re crazy, girl.” and maybe i am. but i’m doing it anyway. x

        If you’re crazy and you know it, clap your hands! Or pick up a needle and stitch as the case may be.

          Oh my funny friend, yes. That’s it exactly. Even is you’re not happy, pick up a needle and stitch your way into the big H. X
