Away from the garden now & onto the stitching front, I have been making slow progress on I wrap that I want to make. Last year I purchased a piece of blue raw silk to make a skirt and had rather a lengthy strip left over down the side . So I thought I would draw some threads out, & make myself a wrap to wear with the skirt. The pic above is of my experiments with different stitches & threads, but alas, is nothing like the true colour. This pic has way too much red in it, while the real piece is more blue with a slight touch of green. Anyway, the real thing is nearly finished, and there should be a pic soon.
