I worked on this a lot today and yesterday. Aside from a sign with the house number and family name, it's DONE! I added all the planters and then began stitching the flowers. I did french knots and glass beads. I needed red thread. But which one!???
I really loved working on the planters the most I think. The roof gave me satisfaction too though. ; ) So here I am stitching on the geraniums into the planters.
Don't they look pretty!? Ah I love how this turned out. They add so much dimension.
I added the lamp and the lights and the birdbath...

What do you think Carol-Lynne!?
It's going to look great in that black shadow box. p.s. The white planters are the about 3 mm at the widest. Crazy! And here are the photos I started this commission with.

I think I'm a little teary, it is beautiful :) When I scrolled to the finished photo my hand went to my mouth. You are amazing!! My Grandma will be a little teary too - lots of fabulous memories at that cottage and this is a gorgeous, and soulful, reminder of great days in a beautiful spot, in a medium she will totally appreciate as she is a life-long crafter who once used a sewing machine like a madwoman. Thank you!!
This is just unbelievable. Who knew you could paint a picture with fabric and thread?
I admire your skills greatly!
Incredible and so touching :).
Stay inspired!
You are AMAZING!

Big Sis says: This is a piece of art that floods the memory with over 30 years of great times and fantastic homemade family meals, nights spent wrapped up by the campfire, my son as a little gaffer help making the playhouse, making jams n jellys, doing laundry by hand, golfing, swimming, waterskiing, my fingers can't type fast enough to keep up with all those wonderfull memories... peace and contentment and most importantly --- acceptance.
Holy Cow! Amazing!!!
