Now to chase away the complacent practice habits


Recently, a colleague of mine played the Fugue in F Major BWV 540. I learned the Toccata that precedes this romp through the key with a b-flat….and others. The challenge was issued to learn the Fugue. I think that’s a great idea! Just after I sort my threads, organize my button and ice drop stash, and maybe even sort the pile of papers that has been growing for a while.  

Oh, and for those keeping track…. The Blackwork program was a success. I came home with less stash than when I started this adventure! Several experienced stitchers were thrilled to pick out a chart and fabric. I call that a win!!

  1. I suppose you know I like the one in Dm. There is a recording on youtube you may like, though I don't know if you are familiar with the instrument.
