Chicken Scratch Stitch

Since having landed in the UK in July last year, I have had a stitchers block. I have worked and a few things but have not been able to stick to one thing at a time resulting in many WIPS. I did not complete Sharon Boggins Take it Further Challenge last year, although I did do some sewing on a theme of this challenge but when looking at what I had done did not think that the finished project was worthy of a posting.


However I think that my stitching block is over and I am on my way to completeing the now WISPS and ready to take on new tasks. Over the months I have been sitting at the computer looking at many blogs but one I keep coming back to is this one http://spiritcloth.typepad.com/. I have to say that I have been so inspired by the work being created here.


This month for the stitch challenge on Sharon Boggins blog http://www.pintangle.com/ I have used an inspiration found on Spirit Cloth blog http://spiritcloth.typepad.com/spirit_cloth/2009/01/undoing-pattern.html. My thanks go to Ms Hill for the inspiration for my challenge this month.

Cyber Fyber Peoples Choice

Last year when I received Susan Lenz' request to send a post card and an ATC for the Cyber Fyber Exhibition in January this year I was quite surprised, but not nearly as surprised to receive the Peoples Choice for my ATC. That is the crooked little one on the left. I was'nt going to send this little ATC because the border was crooked and it looked imperfect, but then I was living in Malawi at the time and nothing in Malawi is perfect, so after much umming and ahing and advice from Carol's sewing group I decided to put it in the envelope and send it to Susan.

I thought I would post the picture I took of my post card too, since I took them together I feel that they belong together.

For a clearer picture you can go http://cyberfyberexhibition.blogspot.com/to and read all about the exhibition see other PC and ATC made by heaps of talented people.

Many thanks to the ladies who left comments and especially to you Susan Lenz for giving me the opportunity to exhibit for the very first time ever!

Thanks also to Mary my trusty post lady who made sure that my parcel made it way from Malawi to the USA almost by hand all the way.....
