The Circle

"Everything the Power of the World does is done in a circle.
The sky is round and I have heard that the earth is
round like a ball and so are all the stars.
The wind, in its greatest power, whirls.
Birds make their nests in circles, for theirs is the
same religion as ours.
The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle.
The moon does the same and both are round.
Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing
and always come back again to where they were.
The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood.
And so it is in everything where power moves."
Black Elk 1863-1950.

You have to wait for the result I just can let you see a small piece of the embriodry
There is an other part of admiration and that is one for a stitch, the herringbone stich .I love this stitch and use it a lot so on this piece it is almost the only stitch I wil use .
