Stitches

Stitches 2

A little in-progress shot of something I'm working on. Simple running stitches on black linen, nothing flash yet somehow pleasing to stitch, slowly and a bit wonk-ily. The idea was inspired by this photo I found on Pinterest a while back, from Anna Maria Horner's blog, but I can't find the exact location.

This album is on the stereo and the kids will be home soon. Not a bad afternoon. Hope your day is going well.

    I love running stitches, I’ve been doing a bunch of thel recently tooI think I spotted this photo already too. The result of these contrasting stitches is efficient, it pops on the dark color.
