....... . . . . .


"There" by Toast - I know it's still summer but I just love the atmosphere, and the music
.

I found this unfinished embroidery on linen at a car boot sale.
I don't think I want to finish it - I wonder the story behind it...

oh my goodness...this is such a wonderful find. I don't think I could finish it either...it's so beautiful just as it is.

The sign of an expert needleworker - the back looks as good as the front.

Shipbuilding,
it was waiting for me at the bottom of a carboard box, between fabric fatquarters for patchwork: I had to get it!

Lisa,
have you noticed? I almost like the back better than the front!

Did you finish this in the end ? If this were mine , I would finish all the rest of it in ivory , cream and white ..... but that is just me ...I,ve been wondering what you eventually did with this lovely piece of embroidery .

Hi Daisy Debs - you know, I was reorganizing my cupboards recently and I found this embroidery. It's still as it was...I wanted to frame it, but maybe you would like to have it and finish it? Let me know! ;-)
