My copy of STITCH arrived this week and it was a nice surprise to find a picture of my work inside the back cover in the readers Gallery section. I had completely forgotten that I had sent in a picture!
I have not had much time to sew this week but did spend an hour finishing off this piece of work.
I lined it and then turned it into this little sewing bag.
We have had visitors this week and so have been out and about. First to Brantome.
To St Emilion
We enjoyed a visit to Chateau de Puygilhem which had a brilliant exhibition about the curiosities wealthy people collected on their travels in the 16th and 17th centuries and how they displayed them.
It was a busy week as our visitors also helped us to move this delivery of wood which is now ready for us to use over the winter.
So when it does turn cold we should be nice and cosy.
What lovely areas to visit! Thanks so much for sharing the photos with us. Congrats on your work being published!! I think they should do a feature piece on your stitching and creativity. I love your slow stitching piece and I just finished reading the book, which is quite inspiring.
