Sun, moon and squares

The weather having turned into the typical British summer I have spent my time stitching,
A sun....
a moon....
and some squares.....

I am just picking up cloth and seeing what it turns into..so soothing. I hope all these elements will eventually come together but if they don't it doesn't really matter , the pleasure is in the doing.

Sun, moon and stars....

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."
That is my hand sewer taken care of and this months Workshop on the Web speaks to the mixed media child in me. Lynda Monk and Gina Ferrari have articles which require investigation and experiment.

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.
