Quiet Scratching


The house is very, very quiet now that we are alone again


Quietly choosing cloth and stitch


I remember being fascinated years ago
with pulled thread work


More variety could be achieved than I expected
but still very modular


I have always liked treetops against a skyline
and now Mark is now painting tree tops
though they haven't made their way onto his web page yet!


Play with feather stitch....
You can see when I did this years ago
I was still trying to keep the stitch very orderly!


Herringbone stitch too.


How many moons do we have?

  2. That feather stitch looks lovely. I had a thing about pulled work, too, but I never managed to make anything sensible of them!

  4. After family leaves the silence is very loud isn't it. A good time to sit and stitch and try not to miss them.
