And that was March. We’ve already lost an hour today here in the UK for British summer time so time is flying a little faster this weekend.
As always, a little stitching every day. Just to catch the moments and tie them down somehow, so they don’t fly away unnoticed.
91 days of 2024 and the top third of this vintage linen cloth is filling up nicely:
April lies ahead. The blankness of the space for the future always startles me a little.
I like to keep the back of the work accessible so that I can see where I’ve been. Sometimes I like it better than the front.
Next month I think it will be time to make the Janet Clare artisan apron. I got the pattern and planned to start on it late last year but the house move got in the way. I’ll have a look for some suitable fabrics in my collection and will share my progress once I get going.
In the meantime, today is a family day at home enjoying the rest of this bank holiday weekend.

Your March stitching makes my heart sing, Karen! The artisan apron looks like great fun. I’m looking forward to future posts as you progress.
thanks so much Stephanie, looking forward to getting started on this
Gorgeous Karen! I am so happy that you are settled into your new house and studio especially with the summer around the corner. The Janet Clare artisan apron looks like a lot of fun….you no doubt will make it a masterpiece with your own inspiration. Looking forward to seeing the month of April on your stitching book. As I look at your completed work now, it reminds me of a topography image. I can almost see the rows of corn, hedges and grass!!
thanks so much Joane. I’m not a huge fan of summer but I’m hoping the north-facing aspect might mean it doesn’t get so hot or bright. I’m really looking forward to making the apron, I’ve admired it for a while now. I’m hoping this year’s daily stitching might look a bit like an aerial map by the end of the year so I’m glad it’s already on its way 🙂
I like the idea of you sitting, stitching the time in place to capture it!
If only I could pin it down! It runs away so quickly…
