something i made earlier. well a few years ago. thought i would post a pretty picture of a cushion i tapestried, not an endless post of my medical miseries.
i stitched this cushion, the pattern was from charleston, called the abstract-patterned cushion. took me a whole eight months to sew because i couldnt get used to the oblique-slav stitch, the beige stitch. i love it, i love the colours, the style, the era.
yeah i didnt moan.

Wow! It's so neat! I don't know how you have the patience? I do embroidery occasionally, but I couldn't do a whole cushion as I'm always in a such hurry to finish.
That's absolutely lovely! Amazing sweetie, you are so talented xxx
Very beautiful! I didn't know that you did tapestry. It is amazingly ornate but also such a lovely pattern. I like the connection to the Woolf family!!
hi steph
im usually not patient, yet with the medium of the stitch im so content and slow. its a pity i cant do much stitching at the moment as it would of been a good way to pass the time. your so kind with your words too.xxx

hi melinda
ive been stitching for 12 years now and selling for the last four. ive sold 9 rugs in all to charleston, and small bags, clutch bags, spectacle cases etc. i adore that era, charleston farmhouse is so colourful and a beauty to visit.
ive been reading virginia woolf since i was in my teens. i remember once i raided the library to take on a holiday, and read the hours, the waves, a room of ones own( i have a small bloomsbury classic to myself), to the lighthouse. have you read her diaries? one to read too.
will be sure to post some more tapestries in the future. xxx
I haven't the patience - even my knitting is in a bedgraggled mess at the moment. The cushion is beautiful.
hi achelois
i think you have to find the happy craft your good at. at cant embroider, ive tried and tried, so ive stopped trying now. but tapestry i loved, i loved seeing the cushion rug etc grow, and i especially love the colours.
ive tried recently to crochet, i dont think having a p.o.t.ty head helps to learn a new craft, and ive stuck the wool and crochet hook back in the cupboard!
oh and all good knitting bags are full of chaos. xxx
