My September stitching celebrated the Harvest, with a tractor beside a golden cornfield. Wildflowers including poppies in the foreground, and a couple of barns on the hills behind. I made up the picture, using a number of rural scenes for inspiration. Variegated threads gave good colour for the land. The tractor has come out well. I'm not too happy with the barns [they look like little cars]
It's all done in cross stitch apart from the back stitch outlining, and French Knot poppies. I don't think it is Norfolk - too many hills!
Kirsten's September piece is this lovely stitch sampler in autumnal shades
I think they are both lovely - love how you are making up the pictures and patterns as you go
ReplyDeleteBoth of these are so beautiful and neat. I'm amazed by how realistic yours is! Kx
ReplyDeleteThanks Kezzie
DeleteThank you Sue, it is a fascinating process, and we are both learning a lot
ReplyDeleteBoth pieces of stitching are a glorious celebration of autumn and harvest. Catriona

DeleteWhat a wonderful collaboration this project has been. The two for September are delightful. Do you think you will have another such project next year? I hope so as you seem to have really enjoyed it and it is lovely for us followers, thank you. Regards Sue
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words, Sue - yes, we are already in discussion about 2024 [the projects seem to run from February each year so we have 4 months of this one to complete first]

DeleteIt's lovely, and he tractor looks absolutely right.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It is parked, because I couldn't get the farmer's head to look right!!
DeleteYou've made me want to get out two cross stitch projects I want to and need to finish.
ReplyDeleteBoth of the pictured prjects are wonderful!
Hugs!
There is great satisfaction in completing a project
ReplyDeleteI love your tractor and cornfield scene! Kirsten's sampler is amazing, too.
ReplyDeleteThey look great. Is it difficult? Bearing in mind that I definitely don't have your craft gene
ReplyDeleteCross stitching is good because the holes are evenly spaced so your work is automatically kept neat!
DeleteBoth embroideries are lovely. Your tractor is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteYou and Kirsten have produced two lovely pieces of stitchery for September!
