finished,

my Broderie Perse wallhanging. 

In my last post I just started to play with some of my stash fabrics, but once I started I could not finish, 

I was enjoying it too much!

It is different from my usual applique; 

at first I could not find enough of the right pictures to cut out, but he who looks, finds 😀

And when the binding is being stitched on, 

you know you are nearly there!....

And here it is, hanging on our hall wall.

I like it, it feels quite 3 dimensional, it is very tactile, I can feel the shapes under my fingers.

  At last we are having some sunny days and a break from all that rain.

Autumn has arrived in our garden......

We have moved the bougainvillea to the front porch, 

so we can enjoy the show little longer.

 I am enjoying being in my sewing room; 

the news from outside are not so good again,

so keep safe out there!

playing with stash

Not much creativity going on here, I have been very short on energy recently, not looking forward to a long winter with many restrictions.

I usually like autumn, but it is different this year....still not venturing very far, 

and the "rule of 6" means that as a family we can't get together again. 

They say that the turkey farmers are getting concerned, 

because nobody will want a large turkey this Christmas 😀.

We joined the other OAP's for flu jab clinic, so one less thing to worry about.

The last 3 days - non-stop rain, with lots of localised flooding; autumn hasn't been very nice so far.

As always, when the weather lets us down, the best place is the sewing room.

Just looking through my fabric stash and getting some ideas - even the most treasured fabrics (usually waiting for that "special" project)  should be used sometimes, however hard it is to cut into them.

So I just started to "play" - my first attempt on broderie perse and with a combination of straight forward needleturn applique, the picture is slowly growing. 

That's all I have to report; keep safe out there!
