This is my second blog post in Jo's Let The People Choose ... blog hop. This month's theme resonated with me as the designer I most enjoyed stitching in 2020 has to be Little House Needleworks (LHN). In March 2020 I started stitching LHN's The Little Sheep Virtues and Country Cottage Needleworks' Sheep in the Meadow as a single project. It took me six months to complete this. I intend to have it framed, hopefully later this year.
The reason I enjoyed stitching this so much was because it was such a soothing project to work on when we were all adjusting to our changed lives as a result of Covid-19. I found that my thoughts dwelt on each of the themes, Friendship, Hope, Love, etc as I stitched them and remembered people and events that I associated with each one.
A lovely piece of work Mary, perfect for 2020, I'm looking forward to seeing it framed.
ReplyDeleteI've seen these a few times over the years, but not stitched together like this. They look fab! :)
ReplyDeleteEvery single motif is great, but everything together results in a great picture, I'm curious which Finsih you choose.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend, Martina
I love seeing this on a single piece of linen, Mary--you did a wonderful job. We all need the soothing that our stitching provides as we struggle through this pandemic together. Have a lovely week ahead ♥
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking part in The People's Choice this month. I love this Sheep Sampler and your reasons for choosing it too.
ReplyDeleteI think our stitching was a major motivator for making it through 2020!
C'est trés joli et l'encadrer sera super !
