Roughly 2 years ago, I was introduced to a 3rd cousin, Dawn. We immediately found out we had a lot of the same interest, and what was different we were both interested in learning more.

In the summer I started this wool work cushion cover and at last I have finished it! I temporarily lost the bag of wool but found it and completed the stitching this weekend. It was inspired by seeing a lot of folk art in Sweden though not copied from anything directly, in fact I made it up as I went along which is my usual way of working.
