Those who must endure blistering summer temperatures
will understand when I mention that I have spent time glued to the
AC lately. However, having a blog motivates me to finish, and so, I present Coral Bells in My Garden (31"x 28"/ 79cm x 71cm) with thoughts of winter in mind
[See here for pictures of the real plant--a "mother -of-millions" succulent--and the beginning of this piece back in January].
While traveling in the States in April and May, I
carried this piece with me and completed the hand stitching (running stitch and
French knots).
This piece began as a sketch on fabric and
escalated from there. It is hand embroidered and machine embroidered, appliquéd,
and quilted.
And for all who are celebrating the fasting month
of Ramadan,
I wish you “Romdhan Mabrouk.”
I wish you “Romdhan Mabrouk.”

I love your handwork - the embroidery is fab!
J'ai relu ton article sur les débuts de tes Coral Bells, tu as sacrément bien achevé cet ouvrage! Les broderies à la machine me plaisaient mais je n'imaginais pas tout ce quilting main qui les magnifient! Vois-tu ce quilt comme une fenêtre ouverte sur le jardin ?
Pour info, en France, de nombreux concours sont lancés, cela t'intéresserait peut-être d'y participer, ici une liste : http://patch31.over-blog.com/article-preparez-vous-a-participer-a-un-concours-108442363.html
Avec la chaleur, le Ramadan doit être bien difficile à suivre...
Thankyou for visiting my blog and leaving such a nice comment for me. Your Coral Bells piece is beautiful. I would like to try fabric collage with stitched sketches but must first improve my drawing skills. I also love the Zentangle tiles piece - en masse they are stunning.
Beautiful piece of stitching - love the coral bells & the background -just lovely.
Enjoyed seeing the pics of your garden & home too - I really don't know much about Tunisia - sad story of the animal parliament - cute pics though.
Such beautiful stitches! You are very patient! The quilt is beautiful, congratulations!
Thank you for visiting my blog. Greetings from Finland
I love it :-)
