A small (60x60mm) stitched artwork depicting a woodland scene. Vertical tree trunks, autumnal foliage and some grey/green on the ground

The same artwork, unmounted and in close up, viewed at an angle to show texture

Here's that little autumnal woodland study I shared as a wip - tweaked, blocked and mounted. I haven't got frames for these yet but when I do they will be up for sale via my website.

A small (60x60mm) stitched artwork in colours of green, blue, & purple evocative of a swathe of bluebells in grass. All vertical stitches, mounted in white to 5x5 inches

A small stitched artwork (60x60mm) depicting a slightly abstracted woodland scene. Dark vertical tree trunks with autumnal coloured foliage and ground cover. The fabric is slightly wrinkled

A little one for #WIPWednesday Almost there, but needs a little tweaking and blocking. I am experimenting with small scale, less detailed and more abstracted images.

The back of a stitched artwork which has lots of, what look like, seed stitches. In shades of pale green and blue. Not a tidy butt, mine never are!

Just examining the "butt" of my current #wip and it reminds me of those little green and blue sweets which were seed shaped and felt like they were made of polystyrene 🤣 Another 70s flashback! Anyone else remember them?

Angled view part of a stitched artwork depicting bare trees along the horizon of a snow covered hillside, with a dense clump of trees to the right. The sky is brilliant blue but has a subtle gradient of shade. Stone walls can be seen crossing the hillside

I think my commission may be finished. Again, it needs to sit on the back of the sofa for a bit. I'm not sharing the full image just yet, here is a teaser of a bit you haven't seen so far.

A piece of normal, brown hessian from another sack with "no hooks" and a warning symbol printed on it in black.

Spent a pleasant day chopping up coffee sacks kindly donated to me by Buxton Coffee Roasters. I had an abstract urge and used a bag from our regular coffee order for a little study which I hope to frame tomorrow. Does anyone remember Issy Noho? […]

Stitched artwork depicting a stone bridge with two arches. Autumnal trees above and water flowing below.

I'm happy with this now, blocked and stretched ready for framing. However I haven't got a name for it. It's an autumnal view of Sheepwash Bridge in Ashford in the Water, near Bakewell in Derbyshire. I usually have a play on words for my titles but I'm […]

Part worked stitched artwork depicting snow covered hillsides with a stone wall in the foreground against which snow has drifted. A single barn can be seen on the horizon and some shaded shapes, which will become trees, are defined in snow.

Only a little #ukSnow here so far - more predicted tonight. However, there is quite a accumulation on my #wip now!

Part worked stitched artwork depicting a stone wall in the foreground with snow drifting against it. There are hills behind, the furthermost are dark. There is a small barn on the horizon.
