Stitchclub Tutorial with Deb Cooper

My husband remains quite ill in hospital and I have been travelling back and forth most days to sit with him so he doesn’t feel so isolated. He contracted Covid from the hospital so he is now in a room on his own and I need to mask up when I go in.

So I decided I would take these sections of mainly natural fabrics and stitch them together with a bit of embroidery added. The idea is that once the strips have been completed they will be bundled with some rusty iron pieces and probably some leaves and put into a strong tea solution for a couple of days. They are resting in the tea solution now so it will be interesting to see what develops. And the stitching definitely helped to keep my more relaxed as I sat with Rob. Maybe I will have something to add next week.

When I have been at home I have been trying to reorganise the house for when he comes home. We have bot an electric bed and an electric lazy boy but shifting the furniture around to accommodate it is a bit of a mission. At the moment I feel like I am living in one of those homes where it is difficult to move around because of the “collections” Mine is mainly larger itens of furniture and as soon as the weather settles I will get the good will people come and take away the two single beds and the dresser that are no longer needed. In the meantime I am just working around them.
