It's finished and do you know something....it came together so quickly. When I am embroidering a surface I think ''I need another applique circle, a few more prairie points, lots of bullion knots and then I need to line it, make a pocket, make the pillow, put it together, hand finish the edges''. Basically it seems like a lot of work over a long period of time. But once it's embroidered and damp stretched everything just happens, just like that it seems, quick as a flash.......and here it is. The final stitching around the edges was completed last night with time to spare before bed.
So, what's next? First this afternoon is a little dusting, domesticity. I like to dust before I sit and stitch. It's almost compulsory. I have already made three videos today. It's a holiday weekend in England but stitching goes on at Ruane Towers regardless, it's not work after all it's a pleasure. I may work on the petal piece a little more.....yes, I think I will.
