Needle and Thread Projects - Completed
Needle and Thread
I am very undisciplined when it comes to hand embroidery - off cuts of brightly coloured fabrics juxtaposed on a background invites me to 'draw with my needle and thread'. I do not plan the stitches, the direction or have a theme, I just stitch. I call this 'random acts of stitching'. Have a look on my Needle and Thread page and see the colourful things I have made.
