Sun, moon and squares

The weather having turned into the typical British summer I have spent my time stitching,
A sun....

 

a moon....

The course with Jude has come to an end and I shall miss her daily "whisperings". It was fascinating and thought provoking, I loved it. This little piece (about 8" square) is what I have made on the theme but a lot of other stitching has gone on too. As my forward birthday present to myself I have signed up for a series starting in July, how could I resist something called "Cloth Whispering/The Magic Diaries."

I have decided that watching Andy Murray is akin to watching Dr Who, it is so nerve wracking you need to watch it from behind the sofa.
