Friday Night with Friends

Many thanks Cheryll for inviting us to share the evening with you again - to find the links to everyone who took part go here


After a couple of grey, damp days we had a lovely sunny afternoon so spent some time in the garden cutting back and tidying - there is always something to do!

So in the evening I got down to some serious stitching and worked on this small piece of embroidery using hand dyed threads and shibori fabric.



The design comes from this lovely little book which is full of useful motifs and ideas for small gift projects.


Cheryll made a very smart heat pad for her kitchen - I am looking forward to seeing what everyone else was working on,

Have a great weekend.

    Oh, Lin, I love that little stitchery! The color is fantastic! I have a bag full of hand dyed scraps someone gave me years ago...you’ve got me thinking! You’re always such an inspiration! Have a wonderful week! XO

    The stitchery - and your fabric/thread choice - is lovely. The book looks like a really nice one, too.
