Not finished yet.




As you see, I have continued working on the Noughts and Crosses piece. I found a 'double fly stitch' which I have never heard of before to make the crosses in Mary Thomas' Dictionary.  'Stitch down loops' to make the circles on this site which has some very clear stitch tutorials.

The threads I am using are rayon threads from The Hand Weavers Studio, of which I have a large basket, which often provides just the right colour. This piece feels very nice to stitch as I am working on a piece of brushed calico which I dyed previously. It is nice and big, in case this becomes a cushion cover.


I have joined in celebrating Emma’s birthday this month and this is the postcard which she kindly sent me from Skye.

  3. I like what looks like paint and sewing and hand work all together. Looks like denium, but guess it's not. ;-) Nice work.
