Lay Thine Eyes on Needlework Monday
A full view of my Bayeux Tapestry project.
I often get requests to create and embroider
pieces of unique Middle Ages inspired pieces
much like this Bayeux Tapestry styled project.
A wall of stone behind the representation of the person who commissioned this piece.
The Bayeux Tapestry is a 224 foot (approximately 70 meters)
embroidered linen art that shows the history of
the Norman conquest of England.
She wanted her two dogs and cat in a series of actions telling a story of their lives.
My recreation of this piece is on linen and the thread is silk.
I still have to add the two dogs on the bottom border
as well as a third sceen with the three pets.
Eventually, I will be adding a sky sceen at the top
complete with Hailey's Comet.
Animals can be difficult to embroider, but with this style of embroidery it looks like a cartoon.
I began working on this project the Fall of 2017
but had to stop working on it the next spring due to
extreme pain just below my thumb.
Thinking it was a bone breaking; the doctors did as well,
but they found it was nothing more than a calcium deposit
that was braking from the bone.
OVER AND OVER AND OVER
Fortunately, I was able to find a surgeon who was able to fix it!
Now I am working on this project as well as seven others.

What could this project be?
Next week I will show you a four part project
I am doing for one of my daughters.
So far I only am working on one of the parts,
but soon I will start on the next.

Very cool and sweet work. Thanks for sharing.
By the way, you should use the tags #build-it and #creativecoin. Your work fits those Tribes perfectly.
Thank you. Both for the compliment and the suggestions! I hadn't thought about either of those.
I love it!
Oh, thank you so much!
Hah that is a wonderful variation on the give no fucks theme :) This is a great project, glad you are not in pain now and are back in embroidering action. Cheers
I was thrilled when she asked for this. Then she asked for a representation of her and her three sweethearts. They just hopped onto the fabric.
What a great piece and it’s so great that you are able to work on it again
Love being able to stitch again. This is a good one to start back on.
This is so cool! Great job on this, and especially on the kitty! 😸
She told me a story about how they chase each other and the cat becomes three times her size. She sent a video and it was adorable.

Your rendition of the Middle Ages through your needle art is very lovely and on point. That cat really does look like a cartoon. I can see why your work is requested by others. I hope that you will continue to share your works in progress with us!

Thank you so much for your welcome and kind words. @brittandjosie has been trying to get me to join up and show off my work. I look forward to sharing with you all in the future.
Glad your wrist/hand is doing better now :) Kitty dropped this on PYPT and I didn't even know you had your own account :)
I am so relieved as well. I have been stitching so much over the past couple of weeks that I am completing many projects.
