The Anderby Creek Accordion Journal is making slow but steady progress.
I found some lovely pebble fabric which was exactly the right scale and have used that for the cover:
And also hand quilted with my favourite sparkly Madeira thread around the pebbles for one of the pieces inside.
Inspired by the concrete cloud shapes at the Cloud Bar, I’ve started to add split stitch clouds to some indigo dyed fabric…
…which will then be overlaid by a felt cloud shape…
…based on some of my photos of the Cloud Bar.
The blackwork version of the North Sea Observatory has only had a few more stitches added to it as I try to work out patterns, but the book is slowly filling up.
I really do need to get it finished before the year is up!
It’s looking good, though. I’m rather intrigued by the concrete clouds!
