Cornelia Paczka-Wagner, Woman Embroidering
I have
lately taken very much to stitching. I can’t profess any great skill so far,
any major (or even minor) projects completed or any preference for one style over
another but I am really just enjoying the process of admiring and being inspired by the vast array of
beautiful work by others available to see online and trying my hand at various bits and pieces—the
stitching equivalent of doodling, I think.
Yesterday I
had a great find at the op-shop—several pieces of old linen with pre-printed
patterns to embroider. Sort of like colouring-in for grown-ups! These will be
nice pieces to play with. I have tried a few tiny pieces of freehand stitching
and I think I still have need of lines and structure while I get my stitches a
bit neater!
