Stitch by stitch - some by hand and others on the machine.It is still progressing!! If only I had the luxury of being able to retire
and devote ALL of my spare time to the joys of stitching - my greatest passion!
BUT I have a few other passions also such as our glorious garden and right now
a lovely friend of mine, Maggie, is helping with the pruning of our 60 odd roses
in readiness for Spring - Oh the joys of the garden - I can hardly wait! I shall be
posting lots of gorgeous blooms when the time comes.
I must say the variegated cotton threads are so lovely to embroider with on the dyed scrim. The whole
piece I feel is a totally new experiment so am hoping not to be disappointed by my end result!
I'm excited for you Suzy!! It feels great when the piece sort of takes over and you end up with something you hadn't expected!!Can't wait until you post some more pics.
ReplyDelete60 wonderful roses.Bet they are a glory in Springtime.Bet the perfume is a heady mix of wonderful fragrance.
We are in the middle of summer here in the USA and it is scorching hot outside. Your work looks so cool and refreshing. Lovely cascades of color.

Just love your work, and the colours you use, can't wait to see the roses in full bloom...
ReplyDeleteHi, Thank you for stopping by and such kind comments! I can tell how much you love roses ... it is so evident in your life and your work! If I knew what those roses were I would be happy to tell you. Some friends dug up and removed oh at least 20 bushes a couple of years ago. (I have no idea why but)we were the lucky recipients ... it appears to behave a bit like the explorer roses ... maybe a John Cabot? although it may be a bit darker.
ReplyDeleteVery best wishes,
