Yet Another Landscape

On Friday I posted about landscapes by Turner and others
On Saturday I posted the snowscape I had stitched for our CoverStory Collaboration
And yesterday I received Kirsten's January stitching - another landscape!
It is beautiful - a  depiction of a place in Sussex which is a favourite spot where she and her family go for coffee sometimes. And it is tiny - just 6cm x 5cm, but she has mounted it on a piece of her Advent Calendar fabric.

You can see trees, patchwork fields, and along the bottom grasses. In the blue sky a very fluffy cloud made from some sheep's wool. The stitching is minuscule! Like my snowscape, her sky is beautiful, joyful blue [skies round here have been very grey lately]

If you read her blog, you will know she has had a tough few weeks, losing her Dad just after Christmas, and then having to deal with all the 'sadmin' that follows a bereavement. 
She has added a photograph in the notebook which accompanies the stitching - a picture of her Dad, looking bright and cheerful, with these fields and trees, and clouds in the blue sky behind him. It was taken at the beginning of December.

K says "this is not a sad piece - it is one of my favourite wintry scenes, and a happy memory of a Grand Old Man!"

What a lovely tribute, I am thrilled he will be remembered and celebrated in our collaborative stitching.
