One of my favourite City & Guilds pieces was a complete accident in terms of planning. I had randomly dyed a piece of cotton fabric previously at an evening class. The theme is used was flowers and it was to conclude a module on using creative stitches. I also used a piece of very roughly made felt. Thankfully I am better at felting now but in 2002 I did not really know what I was doing!
Take a look.....what do you think?

You are probably wondering what the accident was. Well the top square panel is in fact the back. The tension on the bobbin must have been wrong but it gave a lovely stitch that looked a little like an over sized button hole stitch. So I carried on and turned it over as the front!
This is a close up of the stitching and if you click on it you will be able to get even closer. This week I have neatened the edges and stretched it over a small canvas so that it can be hung up rather than being stuck in a box. I have some other pieces which need the same attention.
More tomorrow.Enjoy the evening. I'm off to stitch and watch a DVD. This one...

I think it's beautiful...and I can imagine that it looks really effective now that it's been stretched over a canvas. I love your embroidery. =]
I love it when accidents make you stop and think.
