Experimenting...

I've been experimenting for a new project lately and was out taking photos of the lovely town where I live, which is so photogenic, you can hardly take a bad picture!!
It's full of character with old stone buildings all higgeldy-piggeldy and cobbled lanes......
then I came back and interpreted them on my sewing machine in stitches......
Really enjoyed doing this. Was so completely different from sewing cushions, made me feel like a kid again!! Have a productive and 'kid-like' week! xx

  1. I always feel childlike when I do deliberate wonky stitching. So liberating and yet I love the finished effect.

    [Ooh Tanya I won a giveaway with a prize of 693 buttons, it was a guess how many there are in a jar and I was closest with my 666, sign of the devil guess. I might be able to colour co-ordinate jars!!!!! The menfolk in my house do not understand why that is exciting but I just know you do!]
