August Stitching


We have had so much rain this August, I can count on one hand the dry sunny days we have had.
It rained here for at least 48 hours non stop this week, so apart from taking the dog out we stayed in, this gave me time to work on my handmade felt, stitching my "August Walk" landscape.
If we get a dry day we hope to go blackberry picking, it looks like a good year which is maybe because of our wet August!

Before I forget I must say thank you to Twiglet for her blog award.

P.S If you click the image you can see the whole picture, I have uploaded the extra large size but it won't fit on the page!

Should be dry enough for blackberry picking, according to forecast, lets hope so. Truly amazing piece of stitching.

Beautiful stuff Michaela - do you use an industrial sewing machine?

I love the winding road- it looks very much like our lane here.
Blackberry picking- yay! It's such a good year for them, like the apples.
Enjoy,
xx

It must be the year for rain everywhere. Love your stitching...just noticed the foot on your machine...I have one of those but did not know what it was for....will have to find it and try it.

Hi Shirley,
Thank you.
This machine foot is a darning foot which is used for free hand embroidery, you can lower the feed dog and draw with your sewing machine.
Just to let you know if you click on the image you can see the whole picture, I uploaded the large size but I can't fit it on the page!

yes, we can get very fed up with the rain and yet they say there is a water shortage and we have a hose pipe ban.

Your stitching is lovely and looks like it was inspired by Autumn.

Twiglet said...

Such gorgeous autumnal colours in this one!!

Gina said...

Such a beautiful Autumn picture.

Julia said...

I love the colours in this, so rich and golden, just typical of this time of year! I know Ive said it 100 times, but Im so in awe of your work and you never cease to amaze with your beautiful creations!

Thank you for sharing, love Julia x x x

Melody said...

gorgeous as always. Do you find it difficult to not get the wool trapped underneath your darning foot?

Jasmine said...

I am forever in awe of your trees. You have this art mastered xxJ

Tammie Lee said...

awesome that you are stitching on handmade felt. I love that you share your journey with us, as I really enjoy your art!

Just found your blog and it is most excellent. Does your Bernina foot get caught in the threads? They make one that has large acrylic circle and I find it doesn't hang up in my work quite so much. I love your work and look forward to taking time to look at your old posts.

I know the weather is such ashame isn't it?! I get so disappointed. I have just been to Devon and it was lovely there (but also lovely in London too apparently). I guess doing art work cheers me up.

I am fascinated by your working processes - dreams are a great inspiration for me too, but not nec. for art ideas :0

thought I would share before the experimental art e-course starts in a week . . . . :)

Lovely to see some of what was on at the quilt show this year, must go next year . . .
