Embroidered Sacking & a Really Cute Chicken!
Earlier this summer, I went on a road trip.
I almost called it a vacation, but if you understood how we do road trips, you would not want me to cast aspersions on the word Vacation.
Vacation conjures up lingering, enjoying, relaxing.
Our family road trips are None of the Above. They are go, go, go – get there – do what you have to do – leave – drive, drive, drive, drive, drive. Get to the next place – do what you have to do – drive, drive, drive, drive, drive – get to the next place. Stop and sleep. Get up early. Go, go, go, go. Drive, drive, drive, drive. Repeat anywhere from five to ten times. Arrive home.
So, vacation is the wrong word – road trip suffices.
Before venturing out on this particular road trip, I called for photo contributions from readers, so that I could highlight some of your work in articles this summer.
Many of you responded – many more than I expected, actually! And so I’ve been trickling them out on the website ever since, in the hopes that they provide fellow stitchers with embroidery ideas and inspiration.
