Janet started this piece at our last Zoom session, which focused on ceramic items as inspiration. It was inspired by the quirky gardening designs on a mug and the text was taken from a National Trust magazine. She says:
"It is not often I finish a piece so quickly but it just took off. After adding the shapes and stitching I bonded a piece of sheer fabric over the whole piece and then added some oddments of machine stitched cords I found from previous projects, added some more flowers in velvet and stitched tendrils to the stems and grass at the base. I stitched over the text, two flowerpots and the front wellington boot before burning away some of the sheer fabric. The work was then stitched onto a piece of brown hessian and will be attached to a canvas frame."
Well worth the effort, Janet ...
