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!

Beautiful projects and photos Ros! Your aunt's stitching projects are AMAZING! Wow! TFS :)
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.
When I saw that I knew it was from your aunt, she is so talented, lovely post!
Beautiful stitcheries, Ros. They deserve to be called 'thread paintings'!
Cheers,
Jeanneke.
That heart-plaque is still here; you sent it to me and I cherish it. It was my first prize I won at CCCB!!! Love your photos; the one of Holly is breathtaking. And the stitched rectangle dies ar on my wishlist.... they are fab!

WOW, you Aunt is so talented with her beautiful work, it amazes me every time I see it...what a treasure these are! All your other "stitches" are beautiful too...and I seem to have an addiction right now to the stitched dies...love how they look on a card!!
Lovely photo's of stitching, your aunt is very talented, Ros! Like you she must stay busy! Love each and every stitch!
OOOh Ros, I love this post!! Words cannot express how talented and artful your aunt is!! Wow, both your beautiful Holly and your cat embroideries are stunning works of art! What treasures! Love your examples of 'stitch/es' this week!
wow, wonderful stiched artwork from your aunt! and great other samples for the prompt.
your card with the plane looks fantasic (also the others)
have a good week
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
