Sew Far, Sew Good


I have been very slow at posting about our latest collaborative stitching. We have both been busy with other projects. But here are our Jan-Feb pieces
I love snowdrops and this is a beautiful piece of stitching, my photo does not do it justice
My piece was our names done in hieroglyphics in a sort of Egyptian cartouche. I only discovered afterwards that the horizontal line at the bottom and the crossed lines indicate that this means a Royal Personage!

I have yet to work out what my final section will be. I had a really good idea in the middle of the night on Saturday, but I have been struggling to remember what it was since I woke up on Sunday morning. Hopefully it will come back to me soon.
I have been working really hard on three memory bears. They do look sad and floppy when they are half-stuffed!

  4. They are both wonderful. I do hope you remember the idea you had for the final section. Maybe it will come back to you in the middle of another night. Keep a pencil and paper beside you!

    1. The idea came back to me last night. Now I am trying to work out how to interpret it, drawing lots of things on squared paper...
