I almost forgot to show you September's A Stitch a Day embroidery. I am moving towards the months I was most looking forward to sewing (October and December) and loving it more with each month. If I am honest, it was a challenge to keep up with in during September, but I am glad I did because it does force me to stop and sit down for half an hour, either at the weekend or in the evening. It also makes me think about the seasons and what I like about them, what I want to remember.
September brought:
- seed heads in the hedgerows
- lanyard (first day at work)
- elderberries
- echinacea, growing in the garden
- wheat in the fields
- 6 (for Year 6)
- pencil
- rosehips
- cobweb
- fern turning from green to brown
- mushroom
- axe (chopping wood)
- cooking apples
- embroidery silk
- beech leaf
- conker
- match
- apple crumble#
- caterpillar
- wrap
- first episode of Great British Bake Off
- harvest moon
- dried hydrangea head
- feather
- log
- birch leaf
- ash leaf
- dried allium head
- fox
- bowl of porridge
It's looking incredibly amazing. I'd love to do one next year however not sure what I would embroider and you seem to be able to make your symbols really clear. Kathy, Brisbane, Australia
