Woolly Chevrons

I saw this lovely cushion on Helen's blog some time ago. I have been checking the Stitchsmith's website waiting for the pattern to show and last week it was there and on sale too. Yellow or blue, yellow or blue. In the end I went for the blue.

I haven't done long stitch before but figured it wouldn't be rocket science and it's not. Up through one hole, over more holes and down.

I love that it is made using New Zealand wool.

 I should be quilting quilts, but progress on this is so much more instant and obvious!

I Didn't Make It, But ...

... it's pretty darn cool. Bought it on TradeMe! I like trawling through the Textiles section as you never know what you will find and old tapestries are my current interest.

It says on the back "Tapestry worked by Vic Williams, Papakura, 1974". Love it! And it's hanging in my lounge.
