Here's my September TIF journal page on lists, all done, early for a change!I stitched my chain of lists in a random order and intertwined them a bit when I stitched them to the background. The binding loops are more selvedge strips.
The top and bottom edges are "finished" edges of selvedge strips. I left the sides unfinished. I was going to bind them and then I realized, lists are never done, they're never finished, so I left the sides unfinished.
There's more description of the selvedge background in my previous posting.
It's certainly colorful, a bit raggedy feeling and uncharacteristic for me and to get myself back to my comfort zone I added a plain backing of tan felt, attached with buttonhole stitch in red perle cotton. I wrote the title with a Sharpie. I can now check this off of my to-do list!

Clever idea. It is fun to see the different ways our minds work to meet this challenge.
I really like this one! It's not beautiful, but it really captures the way I feel if I'm so far behind I need to make lists: chaotic and tied up, with no peace or place to rest. That's how I feel if I try to work a rotation "list."

very,very clever interpretation. i think the randomness and the loopsgives it a lot of movement
