A Bit of Stitching

A few pieces of stitching. 

I enjoy stitching a coastal scene , I often use a wash of watercolour or acrylic to paint the scene and then use embroidery to add texture and detail.

I love the combination of hand and machine stitch and will use machine stitch to create a textured background.
