Thread sketching

As promised, my little stitching project inspired by Stephanie Redfern.

First, gather ye random pieces of paper and stuff:

Then, scrabble around to find sketchbook - one of the many... - and choose a suitable candidate:

Thirdly, find yet another blank sketchbook and quickly draw the main shapes and lines: 

Then, start to stick down the random bits of paper, following the "plan".  Work quickly, before the Inner Critic wakes up and asks what's going on:

Stitch all over it - by hand and machine - again, working quickly:

Don't forget the leaves and stuff:

Decide it's finished, step back and admire.

Then photograph in poor lighting, late at night...

That's better!
