A Project . . .

I'm a needlepointer and have been for years and years.    I put it down when Daughter Sarah was a toddler and eventually packed away the pieces that I had made.     A year or so ago when I was going through things in the attic, I found the pillows and got them out again and put them back in chairs.    And last year when we did our transatlantic cruise I bought another canvas.   It would be, I thought, a good way to keep hands busy on long days at sea.   (It was and I also found out that it was a good conversation starter -- it was also on this trip that I learned that it was indeed a cushion, destined to go in a chair -- rather than a cushion to be put on a chair!)

That pillow was finished while we were in England and I found a Stitchery Shop in Burford (a village quite near) and found another canvas.

It kept me busy the rest

of the trip and I worked on it at odd moments at home.    Not as steadily as the first canvas, however, and so

My almost finished canvas.    It, too, is a reminder of our time in England.

I'm still not finished -- but I'm getting there -- it's turning out well and someday . . .

Someday . . .but that will be another post!

It should look like this.     And it will make a nice cushion . . .

Will it not look handsome on the sofa?

For the sofa!  

I must admit that the last bit always goes much quicker and I feel that soon, I shall add my new cushion to the sofa!

And waiting in the wings . . . is another canvas.    This one is full of flowers which shall also look smashing on the sofa!  

This one I ordered from Ehrman Tapestry.    They have some great pieces and their prices are very reasonable.    This cushion was by far cheaper than either of the other two!     I must admit that I could have ordered several but I refrained -- one at a time . . . and when I am almost finished, then I allow myself to order another!
