A Stitch in Time

The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" on the 8th of March is "collage in a square", so a collection of pictures put together to make a single picture, in this case in a square format. When it was my birthday a few months ago, a very dear friend who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions. This set me off on my latest passion: photographing haberdashery still life. In this case I have used the same corner of a hand embroidered doily accessorised with a spool of cotton in one of the four colours used to embroider it. All four images recreate the full image of the doily, which I thought made for a great collage in a square. I hope you like my choice for the theme, and that it makes you smile.
