French Knots and Appliqué

It feels as though I go to an actual physical place when I step outside my thinking brain into wherever it is I find myself when I paint.

Using paint splatters, collage, stencils, texture sheets, oil pastels, and a plastic tool whose name I don't know, I added 'embroidery' today to the painted 9-square quilt patch I pieced together before I went to Virginia.
