NEEDLEWORK MASTERS MONTHLY STITCH A LONG

Computer  as we all can find have minds of their own and mine is certainly not taking orders when it comes to sending my last pages in to Barbara for the Needlework Masters Monthly Stitch A Long all o0f a sudden it will not recognise  Barbara's email address so I am posting my last two pages now as proof that I have completed the year.


My November page has a  Needle painting of a bird of paradise flower we did grow these spectacular flowers when we lived in Cormandel with the warmer climate, the bright colour of the flower rather over shadows the small bronze beetle.


To finish the year, my December Page has a piece of Drawn Thread work  and a lovely silver metal thread beetle.
This has been a very enjoyable project, thank you Barbara for the Challenge, my journal is a really treasure and not something I would have thought of doing. I now wait to see what challenges may come up to stitch in 2014. meanwhile if you want to see everyone's journal pages visit .here

Congratulations Lee on completing your embroidery journal for 2013. Your last page is Beautiful. WOW! The Bird of Paradise looks striking and the beetles are gorgeous. The Drawn Thread work is spectacular. I like how you put a fabric behind it to show off all the pulled threads. Your journal is a treasure!!!
love Annette
