Travel sketches and slow stitching from my Vancouver Island road trip

Documenting a quick trip over to Vancouver Island in sketches and hand stitching. The sketches are done on location from life, not from photographs, and I while I did some slow stitching during the trip most of the stitching was done after I got home

What an inspiration you are. I've just picked up slow stitching and I never know what to sew. Now I do. Thank you.

[@mistikomakes]

Wonderful! Glad you feel inspired

Those stitched travel memories are awesome. Those trees... Loved all of them but those trees are just breathtakingly beautiful. And the combination of your memories into one piece - that must look so special.

Brilliant memories of your trip to vancouver island thru your stitching pieces and your amazing sketches, I wish I could draw that good.
