Doodle Stitch



This is what I made when I got home all-inspired from my trips to the quilt show and the sculpture gallery recently - a doodle stitch from a kit that I found in my stocking at Christmas.

I've done a little bit of embroidery before but always from a pattern so it was fun to start from scratch this time. For those, like J (and J), who can't work out what it's supposed to be, it's a collage of scenes from New Zealand native bush. From left to right...

  • Tui and a pohutukawa
  • Flax with flower
  • Monarch butterfly
  • Koru (new tree fern frond)
  • Fantail
  • Kowhai blossom
Tomorrow I'll post some pictures of the real thing for comparison purposes...
