Monday’s response to our ride along the Camel Trail was very close to being finished as well; so a few stitches later this…
…became this.
The top stitching on the ‘river’ is quite random…
…but the pattern of the leaves has turned out rather more in the style of sashiko stitching.
And this handsome beauty turned up in the garden today just when I had the camera in my hand.
He/she is a Peacock butterfly and was resting before going on to enjoy the flowers of our huge buddleia.
What a stunner!

Two beauties in one posting. Your stitchery is lovely. How wonderful that this beauty stayed still so you could photograph her.
I think the warmth of the south facing wall was too tempting!
Very nice. I do like the way that you are incorporating the names into the pieces. Great the way they like to cling to the warm brickwork to get up to temperature and a lovely shot. Well done for having your camera to hand.
I love the way text looks in stitching – after all, letters are only stylised patterns.
The sashiko-style stitchery has turned out really well, hasn’t it! I hope you are pleased with it..
Yes, I am. It’s a nice change to do something regular alongside the more free swirling lines I tend to default to.
Been catching up with your last few posts…lots of lovely photos and fab stitching! I really like the sashiko.
You have made me want to book a holiday to Cornwall……we went last September and had a wonderful time.
Thank you. Mmm, love Cornwall so much. :o)
