I spent the day sewing yesterday, yes nearly all day, although this was at an embroiderers guild work shop I attended in leamington.
Our tutor was Jo Owen, a lovely lady who shared her passion for textiles with a wonderful talk and a display of her varied work.
We could stitch any landscape and I dipped into my sketch book for inspiration. The only requirement was to use only one type of stitch by hand, I chose couching.
Today I have been catching up with house work, but in my head I'm still placing stitches in patterns!

Beautiful and inspirational. Did you psint the fabric before stitching?
I adore your couched tree in those beautiful spring tones. It's simply gorgeous!
Hope you have a lovely week ahead

lovely
It looks wonderful, I shall look forward to seeing it finished.
The technique might be different but the style is still very much your own. It looks lovely. There should be a parcel on its way to you this week!
Bravo!
I love your style...
I'm betting that your co-students were envious of your style and talents. I love your work.
Jasmine, I painted the fabric with silk paints before stitching.
