My Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge for June was number 10, an old embroidery project that I want to move forward. This project has been hanging out in the studio very patiently waiting its turn to shine.
I shared about this project in this post. I needed to decide whether to rip out my cloud stitching and try again, or go with it.
I decided to go with it. I am doing the stitching my way. You know…the best I can. That is how we do things, right?
Once that decision was made, I could finally move on.
The cording was stitched down, and became the means to create dimension in the tree trunk.
It is hard to photograph dimension, but hopefully you can see some of it.
There is a dimensional branch made of wire.
I didn’t work on this for most of the month. Instead I spent a lot of time in the garden.
And I went to the west coast to attend my grandson’s wedding (time is flying!).
I caught up on other projects.
Still, I am happy with how this is progressing, even though my stitches are not executed in the ‘proper’ way!
I am too late to link up with other challenge participants over at Dreamworthy Quilts for the June updates, but come on over with me and check them out! Maybe you will see something to inspire you!
Have fun and carry on!
