Work in progress

I am trying to loosen up after a prologed absence from the sewing machine.

The planned decorating day had to be shelved as it was so hot, so I spent a pleasant hour or so at the machine.

This is the result.

I've been fruitlessly looking for everyday items all week: they appear to have been misplaced as a result of the building work and resulting decorating. So this is my memory of that time.

As usual, after a break, my work becomes very tight, so this will be ruthlessly altered in the coming days.

Why does it never come out right first time?

Silk, calico and stitch.

The border is a piece of silk from my erosion bundle project of last year. These pieces are proving to be jolly useful.
