Stitch(es)

Happy Sunday and Happy August!

This week at Our Beautiful World we have the prompt
Stitch(es)
Picked for us by the lovely Mandy


This is a lovely make by my Aunt ... It's done with embroidery silks and it's my late GSD Holly
Here's a close up of those stitches


It's hard to photograph as it's in a glass frame but it's pretty amazing huh?
Here's one she did of a cat


I don't do a lot of sewing now but my earlier cards and crafts often featured sewing and stitches



And I think that's why I had to eventually get a new sewing machine!
Now I am addicted to stitched dies


creating faux stitches


We'd love it if you joined in with us this week ... hopefully you won't share anything too gory as in hospital stitches Lol!

Hop on over to the Blog to see what the rest of the team are sharing
And have a beautiful Sunday!

Fabulous work your aunt did and then what a wonderful gift to you. I also really adore the stitched cards- that black and white one is fantastic.

Beautiful stitcheries, Ros. They deserve to be called 'thread paintings'!
Cheers,

Jeanneke.

Your Aunt's work is so amazing! I loved stitched dies, too! We keep finding these connections (your 1/2 brother & my husband's newly discovered family), so I really think one day we should meet in person! Hugs, Greta

I'm staring in amazement at your Aunt's stunning embroidery - how beautiful are those two artworks. I too did a fair bit of sewing in the past and have found with GD Sophie I am again enjoying making a few items. Very little on my cards but your stitched dies I have noticed quite a lot and realllly like them. Super photos, Ros
