Tiny Stitches

Blue Barn with Red Poppy

(Sold)

Completed this little stitched piece just a few days ago, which I named "Blue Barn with Red Poppy" (It sold within a few hours of posting it in my Etsy Shop, before I had a chance to show it here.)

This piece gives a definite nod and wink to Janet Bolton, whose work always delights, 

and inspires me when I wish to go really small. 

It only measures 6" x 6", so details are very important!

One might think that a small piece like this whips up quickly. On the contrary, as I have mentioned before... a very small piece like this needs to be worked slowly and thoughtfully. Not over burdened by heavy stitching or elements of any kind, 

I find that everything that does go into it needs to be intentional and deliberate.

Working this way is truly one of my favorites, as it makes me slow down and simply meditate on the bits of fabric I am working with and the small stitches I choose to make.

It is a calming and soothing way to work.

Hope to be doing more of these soon, 

but I have also just stumbled upon a new needlecraft obsession...

Punchneedle!

Will post about that very soon!
