Here are the final two Postcard Project posts - one today, one tomorrow. This is the piece which I will be keeping, framing and displaying [along with a photo of the other piece which is now with Kirsten]. I think if you click on the image, you should be able to see more details
On the left, reading from top corner
Veg in One Bed my celebration of becoming a gardener
8pm Clock - K's daily time of prayer for peace in Ukraine
The sunflower and flag - my pictures for Ukraine along with the World Day of Prayer Logo
Nazanin is home from Iran - my joy at her plane landing in the UK
A view across the countryside - K's beautiful sketch interpreted in stitch
A little bird - I spent November embroidering these for my craft sale
Grandson Jacob's birth announcement
The postcard project, conceived, delivered, dated and signed by us both
A Christmas tree with K's Epiphany blessing
A patched panel - my boro stitching
Autumn leaves - K's circle of foliage
The labyrinth of prayer - K's meditative garden
The tea tray - K's appliqué and stitched homage to our afternoon delights
A Bicycle - my piece incorporating Dorset button wheels.
I cannot believe how much we stitched in one year - the notebook accompanying the fabric lists all the stitch patterns, and changed plans, and design decisions etc.
Tomorrow I will post a picture of K's postcard.[They are about 24" x 12" in size.]
It's truly beautiful! We have also got an enormous amount of joy out of this project so the blessings are multiplied! Kx
