Three Weeks Scratching Catchup


Just took a few scraps of cloth with me
and a knotted bundle of left over threads.
Knew I wouldn't have much time to stitch.


Kept it simple


Stitched with my scrappy threads


Coloured in squares


with simple, simple stitches


crosses and squares


squares
 circles
 crosses
dots and dashes


diagonals
vertigals

and now it is June already.

  3. I had to chuckle reading your words "kept it simple". Most of us would say "if that's simple, what is complicated". Its beautiful, as always and a lovely tribute to your time with family.

  5. i just love to see your work Penny... everytime you do it makes me want to start.....I think thats the problem .. i don't know how to start... Do use one layer of material or do i need multiple layers to make it sturdy enough to sew on...? Do you use an embroidery hoop...? Can you help get me started? Hugs! deb
