Our price: £35.00
Quantity:

A joyfully stitched ‘saddlebag’ full of colour and mirrorwork.

This has been assembled from two separate pieces of stitchery originating in Kutch, Western Gujarat. The embroidery has been worked on handspun, handwoven cotton and bordered with a striped fabric. There are some unfinished areas, where the pattern has been marked out but awaits stitching. The back and front have been sewn together to make a large bag used for storing household linens.

It measures 76cm high x 46cm wide.

Fill it to make a large sofa pillow, take it apart to create two cushion covers or generous tote bags, brighten a chair back or a dark corner.

🍁I gathered these a few days ago, feeling like autumn was just around the corner.
And here we are in toasty hot temperatures again…😎

The sun was slipping down over this harvested field as 🐾 and I took a gentle evening stroll. 
Such peace here. 
Such a horrifically unequal world.

Wednesday’s windowsill, with a little licence. This jolly pot is not mine but it’s providing excellent service cheering up a quiet corner in Perthshire! 
I’m sitting outside a yarn shop - can’t promise I’ll leave empty handed…🧶

Took my stitching away with me. Never even took it out my bag…😳

Happily threaded a needle this evening in the company of a snoring Bruce🐾
Wednesday but…
… not actually a windowsill and not mine! I’m on a recce south of the Border but that neon pink I just had to share💕

Block prints on linen. Happy with these and now just need to set the colour before a little sample stitching commences.
