Regatta Sailing race no2

This is the other regatta race that I've been working on. It is slimmer and longer than the first one I made and how it is made up is a bit different, which I thought was going to be quicker, but took longer!! A mixture of painting and hand/machine embroidery.

 And this is some close ups;





                                                                      Seagulls included!!

Hope you like it, I have popped it into my Etsy shop now. I have a plan in my head to make the same sort of picture but with vintage cars. Hope it can translate OK from how I see it to paper!

On other news have started to quilt my patchwork and is coming out nice (I think) as it's hand done it has given me lots of needle pricks in my finger, will try a thimble I think. So lots going on in my little Highland Cottage :0)

    Utterly gorgeous! The detail is phenomenal - like the highlights on the gulls. Doubt whether it'll be in your Etsy shop for long!
