Where does the time go? The last photo I put here is the complete embroidery roll I did a while back, as a challenge with an embroidery group I meet with. It was decided that we should each take a roll of fabric and do some stitch practice on it . I being the rebel that I am couldn’t commit myself to practicing or keeping track of new stitches so I chose to look at this project as a doodle practice using stitch. so I drew and stitched or simply stitched randomly in a wiggling line or collaged some wee bits of fabric onto the linen then stitch embellished that. It was great fun to just have something to hand to pick up whenever I had a few minutes to sew. it is not a pristine finished project, rather a slow stitch scrap became something in its own right.Oh and the linen was a pair of my husbands pants that I cut up after he ,of course, wore some holes in places… and that made it soft and pliable to sew .
