Sew Autumn and Sew Blue from Japan

I heard from Yu in Japan that she has finished stitching not one but two of my designs. Firstly Sew Autumn - this is stitched on Zweigart 40ct tea dyed linen with a Japanese thread Cosmo 2311. I love this one - the colours are amazing and it has a real Autumn look to it. I think I prefer it to my original!

Secondly, Sew Blue - Yu again used a Cosmos thread (734) but on Zweigart 40ct antique white linen. I really like the look of these threads and I am checking with the company that makes them to see if there is a supplier in the UK. Well done Yu - two lovely versions which make me want to stitch them again!

If anyone has been wondering what has happened to Yuko, she has asked me to tell you that 'sweetie' - her adorable little son - is ill in hospital with a virus. He is recovering slowly but both he and Yuko are confined to his hospital room. She will be back blogging as soon as she can. Get well sweetie!

My visitor arrives tomorrow - I hope the weather improves for her visit. It's dull, gloomy and raining but we will not let this ruin our plans.

Thanks for visiting

Take care

Carol, these are incredible finishes of Yu's! I feel my need to stitch them increasing!

Please let Yuko know that we are all keeping her and sweetie in our prayers. Get well soon!

Carol,
These two stitched pieces by Yu are so pretty. Isn't it amazing how different threads can give a totally different feel to a design. I love those colours.

Thankfully Tass is on the mend but it's been a really exhausting time for Yuko. Hopefully she'll be back with us soon :>)

Have a lovely time with your friends. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the weather.
Warm hugs Angela

Thanks for sharing lovely pictures of Yu's versions of your samplers - they both look gorgeous. I especially like the autumn's colour - real autumn leaves!

Have a great time with your guest!

Beautiful finishes from Yu. I may have to pinch the tea dyed linen idea. :)
Here's hoping sweetie gets better soon.
