Finished this one--that's a phrase I haven't used in a while.
I was in a fragile state myself this week with a cold and skin treatment that left me not wanting to show my face in public, so a fragile piece suited me. I put together some of my most delicate fabrics, no backing, just frayed bits held together with a thread.
Found a home for a few baubles:
Some bits were gifts and some from the bins:
I am really happy with my fringe at the bottom. I did a little funky crochet and added some torn and knotted organza behind it:

your fragile, free-form piece is so lovely. i can see it hanging in front of a window with the light coming through.
hope you're feeling better.
beautiful in its fragility
Wow I really love this work you did. Yes the name Fragile fits and what a keepsake. Someday I would love to be able to make something like this! Do you teach classes on this type of work. I can just see it dancing when a breeze comes in the window... just simply lovely.
Robin, love this fragile cloth - why isn't in the SEW blog? it is beautiful!!!
Yup! I'd say I'm pretty much awe struck.
Hold on. Let me make sure.

YES! Awe struck, over your beautiful
white piece is what I am.
I love this fragile beauty...each detail feels as if it has a story to tell of some long forgotten memory.

This is beautiful Robin, so fragile, so delicate and I love the addition of your little baubles.
Rest up with a cup of tea and a bit of stitching.

This piece expresses your feelings so well- it's beautiful with lace texture and loose weaves.
Thanks everyone! I really enjoyed working on this one. Some times they just feel right.
Barb, I haven't taught classes on this type of work, but it's not that hard to do. It's mainly just hand stitching together beautiful pieces, then adding a few more on top to round out the composition. Give it a try!
And Herm, I just haven't gotten around to joining SEW yet, but I will try to get it there.
Thanks!
I like the softer side. I feel fragile this week too. Hang in there
