Aaaah, needle & thread..

So yes, was away last weekend which means it's been at least 2 weeks since i did anything creative. Man, was i feeling twitchy..  guess what i needed was some 'stitchy'!
Somehow or other i have been following the AMAAAAZING work of 'lucky jackson'. Who appears to be stitching something fabulous every day over at 365 Lucky days..

so how chuffed was i when i saw that she had released this 'polaroid love' here as a pattern.

i had to get my hands on one and try it out..

I love the idea of sketching with stitches.. i actually used freezer paper to 'stick' a piece of fabric to a surface so i could put it through my inkjet printer. This gave me 'Lucky's' line work to follow - all i had to do was get stitching.
And voila!

now to work on my own sketches...
