I embroidered one of my 'quotes' onto a largish piece of silk, damp stretched, cut it up and hey presto. You know me, I can't resist cutting my words up it makes it more mysterious. Is that the sign of a warped mind????
This is how they look tacked onto the card templates, very scruffy actually but at this stage I have a fear they will not be secure enough so overdo it a bit.
Then I did the same thing with a piece of cutwork. This is quite bulky compared to the text but I am not easily beaten and will make them 'sit' together if it kills me!
So far I have only joined a few pieces together, part of my playing phase, but I am more than happy with how this is progressing.
Oh, and before I go, don't forget the give away in the previous post! Less than one week left!

The weeks seem to fly, indeed! I feel the same, but it seems that you are working in a good rhythm. I'm looking forward to see the result :)
love this. like a little board game or something. and you have me itching to do some little squares again. it has been a while.
Gorgeous blue and white. Silly question-what do you use to damp stretch? Do you pin to a board, or something else?
You never stop surprising me with your ideas! I love your pieces of text; and I'm a happy keeper of the secret of a complete text.
Not sure what this says about your mind, but I find these bits of text intriguing, spend ages trying to piece them together to find out what the quote is.
I love these !!! beautiful with the stitch !!!
I love the miniture art works.x
This looks exciting. There is something special and precious about tiny work
That blue and off-white is reminding me of pillow ticking... I know you will have proably done this before but I see people with sketchbooks that they have colour washed before using so that the harsh white is all gone. I've always been too bone idle to do it though!
