March ?

Already ?

YES

We had some wonderful springy days

last week :
a lovely Zoo-day with the youngest grandson,
much needed gardening
and even some stitching outside !

Though the cold (and drizzle)

have returned today,

I finished the last bit of a small piece

that really looks like SPRING, I think.

"our beginning"

(cell, sun, earth ? )

I started with a very THIN piece of striped cotton

that was resist indigo dyed, 

of course with some felt as backing.

The theme for last week was "couching":

sewing thick thread (too thick to embroider with)

in one way or another onto the surface.

You often use plain strait stitches,

but in fact a lot of other stitches can do too.

Here I used cross stitches to fix the long floats around the circle.

It was fun to see the light shining through the thin piece

I finished it all with some seed beads and tiny gold specks.

P.S.

Today my dear friend Mo
had the opening of her exhibition
of her wonderful stitching project
in which a lot of our friends were allowed
to participate :

"I dream of a world where love is the answer"
