Taking time for myself, I've been 'attending' some online workshops with Textile Artist Stitch Club. This one was all about creating texture with stitches and it allowed me to spend a lovely afternoon in the sunshine practising some knotty stitches inspired by the shadow patterns made by leaves. I used a variety of threads from traditional stranded cotton to raffia with a smattering of glass beads thrown in for good measure. Thanks to Brooks Harris Stevens for a fantastic workshop!
