The role of stitch

Stitch has always played an important part in my work. I like working in a tactile manner and stitch fits within this. I enjoy the whole process of stitching and feel that this is an important part of the creation of the piece. However, I have been absorbed by my drawings recently and haven't used stitch as extensively as I have previously. I'm quite sure I'll come back to it at a later date. I have thought about taking some of my drawings of everyday objects and recreating them in stitch or even continuing the badge theme I used in my swimming based work.
