I have been making slow progress with the ‘Dawn Cloth’ I have tasked myself with making. Got to be careful not to strain my eyes on these dark days! I still use mostly back stitch, some French knots, zig-zag and fly stitch. Progress still so slow but no hurry after all which is a good feeling!

I started this cloth in response to a dawn of astonishing brightness and colour I witnessed the other week. I wanted to create something positive in the wake of all that we are going through with the covid situation. It also links to my proposed workshops with sexual abuse survivors which are still going ahead but in the new year. Here is my beginning in backstitch mostly. Progress is glacial but I am pleased to still have loads to do if that makes sense!
