We are at the Playa Costa Verde resort near Holguin. It’s been fabulous! Dreading the return to freezing temps in Canada tomorrow!

‘Irish Cottage’ this one is stitched on the most beautiful colour of green velvet. The heather is a mix of French knots and glass beads. French knots also for the stone fences.

The first ‘Twillingate Stage’ was a commission for my cousin of their family stage. I loved how it turned out so much I asked permission to make another one. This one was handstitched in June of 2022. Tons of teeny tiny French knots on the beach and single strand floss. #landscapeembroidery #thread

‘Prairie Path’ was Handstitched in 2023. It found is home at my first Merrickville Arts Guild show that fall. I have always loved how the teeny path stitches and fluffy clouds turned out on this one.
