new stitching start

I did as I said yesterday :

begin a new little cloth to stitch

I like to work small

when I have no special idea what to do

20 x 20 cm 

(almost 8 x 8 ")

dark like the winter time

(though the temperature is rather high here,

no real winter yet)

Of course basted down with invisible stitches

(glued)

like we all learned from Jude !

The starry bit on the left

with half a circle cut out destined it to become

the edge of the midwinter sun :

so a solstice piece it will be
