This has taken a whole month of concentrated stitching. It was still Winter when I started it so the colours changed to greens as the Spring arrived.

That is really a lovely piece of work and I know what you mean about putting your life into it. The skylark really brought it home. Is that red square a gate?
ReplyDeleteThanks Beth. The red square is an old ruined bard. An interesting site for wildlife.
DeleteAhhhh that badger in the corner :-) !

Thanks Els.

ReplyDeleteThanks Mo. There is going to be a T.V. program, it begins this week, about life on earth taken from aerial views - should be interesting.
DeleteWhat a wonderful, hand felt and heart felt piece of work. My eyes keep wandering up and along and across and imagine walking through here, knowing that some of these folk (badger, skylark) would accompany me, or be spied, if I wandered through it in person. A remarkable evocation! Go well.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you Fiona! How lovely to know that you understood and walked in this piece too. Much love to you, I do love your blog.
