Free Motion Moon and Sky


Thank you to everyone who commented on Monday's post.  

The general consensus was that it had to be a night sky with a shining moon, so here it is!  I hadn't got any navy blue thread so I had to buy some, and I finally settled down for a spot of serious treadling this afternoon. Stitching the sky was tricky at times because the thread was difficult to see against the background.  It was a bit like flying by radar.  The stitched moon isn't perfectly round, and there is so much thread packed into a small space that it is stiff as a board.  

I'm really pleased with the result.  It is my first stitched landscape and now I have a hankering to do some more.

Linking up again to Leah Day's blog for Free Motion Friday - plenty of exciting projects for you to see there!
