Here I am with my first blog posting for the year and it’s already February, we will skip over happenings for January as it was not my best month and best forgotten.
,This year Fiona and I are working together on a special project, my designs stitched by Fiona and I am doing the construction, She is a beautiful stitcher and can stitch perfect cross stitches with two threads on 40 count linen, something I struggle to do I can stitch on the same count linen with no problem as long as I am stitching with one thread. The project is a set of needlework accessories, the designs are a combination of three flowers, harebells violets and rock cyclamen, all favourite s that I have growing in my garden.
The harebells have been flowering since before Christmas, and yesterday I spotted the first two tiny cyclamen flowers. The stitch flowers have been blooming too with the first few pieces finished. At present I am putting together a tiny orts box that Fiona stitched showing all three flowers.
