A break in Devon

So many bloggers show photographs of their work placed in beautiful, natural surroundings, that I was inspired by our accommodation this week to photograph an ongoing project, " Morley Moons" outdoors.

The weather was predictably wet, but where we were staying, had glorious views which enabled me to watch how the sky changed as I was stitching.

Lots of muddy walks, practising map-reading

and finding some great colour studies along the way.

There was even a sunset, but the stars had disappeared by the time we had finished dinner with friends.

    I love that 'colour study'!! The Kemshalls would have that as printed fabric in a jiffy!

    I guess you are hand quilting the Morley Moons (or did you take your machine with you?)

      Hi I did some machine quilting to stabilise the whole structure before we left, and I'm now hand-quilting the moons ( with Jacqui Harvey's backstitch method).
