I love fire escapes. There. I've said it. Wait. I may have said it before. Well it's true. I do love them. Let me count the ways. I love their graphic lines, their rusty or sleek texture, their negative space, the layers upon layers of straight lines, the angles.
I love interpreting them in stitch. Large, small and medium.

You've made me much more aware of fire escapes, and their lovely lines and shadows...
