HSS....

HMM......... this is my choice- a colorful possibility for the Macro Mondays group’s theme of circles for 4/19.

the size and context mosaic is in the first comment box.

this portion measures 1 and 3/4th inches at its widest/tallest

I am surrounded by natural leaves at home in my house and garden, but had trouble finding any man-made ones! I'm hoping that this bit of embroidery by my Aunty Gertie many years ago will do, even though it's "woman-made" - HSoS!

Inspired by soulemama's amazing quilt here! Blogged here!

Needlework is becoming a lost art...

Appliqued felt and cotton fabrics. Three from a series I am working on.

Each circle is about 5.5" (14cm) diameter.

Front cover of my journal for this year.

5 cm high / Diameter 5 cm

(of cloth) decorated with patterns sewn on with thread.

such as "an embroidered handkerchief"

It's made by a seventy -year-old man.

Sharing some art, one of my first hand sewn faces and likely one of my favourite... from my own drawing

A lady performing needlework in Den Gamle By in Aarhus, Denmark

I saw this idea somewhere... And then I saw it a few other places. Now I can't remember where it originated (if I ever knew).

all my own work, no patterns, hand embroidered

this has been a lovely relaxing little project! blogged.

had I the heaven's embroidered cloths

enwrought with golden and silver light

the blue and the dim and the dark cloths

of night and light and the half light

I would spread the cloths under your feet:

but I, being poor, have only my dreams

I have spread my dreams under your feet ;

tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

W.B Yeats

This is a small purse that I bought several years ago from Ten Thousand Villages. It's the perfect size for carrying just my phone, license and keys.

Polaroid week is over... Long live polaroid week!

This tiny trinket box is just under 2 inches wide. I bought the kit for this at a craft fair. I enjoyed the embroidery, but making it into a box, with lining, is probably the most fiddly sewing I have ever done.

I have a thing about people-faced deer. I lurves them.

More experimenting with embroidery. This is very simple. Just backstitch and sort of sashiko style for the spots on the body.

I got too into making the tiniest stitches possible before I realized it actually didn't look that good and made the lines look really wobbly. Oops! Oh well. ^o^

One star from a United States flag.

Star is ~2" (5cm) point-to-point horizontally.

Strobist: single strobe aimed slightly across the flag from the left to bring out the texture of the cloth and star.
