The text on the wing says “Sov Du, Jag vakar” which in translation means “Sleep, I will watch over you” I plan to do a series of them….you just can`t have enough guardian angels in your life!
Today I also finished the felted piece I was working on as homage to my late uncle. I was a bit inspired by wall- hangings actually. He was a very keen bee-keeper so naturally it has a bee hive on it and an old air plane since he used to build the most fabulous model air planes. The embroidered flowers also came naturally because he was a real nature lover. The piece sort of made it self…..and it was something very soothing about seeing the embroidery grow under my fingers and remembering all the fun we had. I plan to give it to my mother.
Take care

What a great way to remember your uncle! Somehow I missed this post, I was actually here to tell you that not only we are twin sisters but our mothers too. My mother always sewed with a thimble too, but when I use one I stretch that finger, so that doesn't play along. My mother couldn't sew without thimble, I cannot sew with, just like you two!
Now isn't that spooky?
Hejsan. Jag blev minsann tipsad om dig av Lili M :) ser att hon har kommenterat dig! Hon tyckte att jag skulle in här och kika eftersom jag också har gjort lite filt-grejer. Jättefin filttavla du har gjort. Ha en fin helg /linnea-maria
Har kikat runt här i över timme. Blev fast på allt vackert du skapar. Ska kika lite till
I love cathy cullis' work! I have two of her stitched pieces framed in my bedroom.
Love your uncle angel.
