This piece is what introduced me to
the music of Loreena McKennitt when I learned that Teresa was
influenced by the musical version of Tennyson's poem about a the
Lady of Shalott
who was not allowed to look directly out her window overlooking
Camelot. Instead, she was forced to see the world through a mirror
while she weaved day by day. Of course, this was purchased immediately,
so unfortunately I have the kit which I absolutely hate and
reminds me why I never buy kits.
Erica (Moira) and I decided to start this project
when we both learned it was next up in our lists. We started
on September 20,
2002, when members of the TW board were having their SAL. Erica
came over at 7pm and we listened to Loreena McKennitt's song
while we stitched those first Xs. After the album, we put in
some movies
and at about 2am Erica finally decided that she needed to go
home.
This border took forever. I'm going to put this
one down and rotate it out with Garden Verses.
