I feel like I'm getting a bit overwhelmed with the "Tribal" theme, and need something else to provide some contrast.
I've always "loved stitching red" cross-stitch....(I'm NOT trying to pinch your name Carolyn)
..and would like to indulge myself in some more "traditional" kind of stitching...
...like this....
...and these.....
(Sorry about some of the wonky photos!)
I'm lucky to have one of those "REPLAY" recycling places nearby....
...and always manage to find some "treasures" when I allow myself to visit!
This time, I found a load of this stuff....
...lovely bits of cottons and linens....
...in just the right colours to go with some "traditional" cross-stitching!
I've seen some beautiful things done on these kind of fabrics in some smart boutiques in France.
So.....
..I'm going to make a start soon.....
..and let you know what happens along the way ;-)
