The colour of springtime is in the flowers
the colour of winter is in the imagination.
The fire is burning brightly and the room is warm so it does not matter what the weather is outside, shortly I will go and enjoy the fire and sit and stitch, but first I want to share with you my journal page for June I used a piece of Turkish embroidery, which had been my planning piece for a piece I stitched later for an exhibition..............
.............a small example of Punto Antico Embroidery ( Italian) This is taken from one of Bruna Gubbini's books on Antico Punto but I cannot remember which one. and this time a bronze beetle.
And as the month is going by quite quickly I am off to plan my next page.
Happy stitching everyone.
