Slow Stitching - June 2025 - Week 1

My Homes is the theme for my June slow stitching piece in the K3N Cloth Tales 2025 Comfort Coverlet project.

I have lived in a few homes in my life with a new on in the very near future.  Those have been in two provinces of Canada.

I drew the 2 provinces in outline on my 12x12 inch piece of cotton with a foundation layer of thin fabric. 

I invisible basted these layers together about 1 inch from the edge. This serves as a reminder to keep my art within that space.

I found a map online I could use for reference and drew the shapes by hand.

I chose two strands of a dark grey embroidery floss and the outline stitch. I went all the way around the provinces and added the islands on the west coast.

The big lakes are done in blue.

Looking forward to another month.
