Then with a little bit of internet research (this is when I decide perhaps I do love computers) I started to play with some ideas.
And this has resulted in the following two stitched landscapes. (Although the photographs are not entirely true to the colours.)
These will be on their way to New Zealand in February as a wedding present for a couple I have never met. I quite like the idea of them being on a wall on the other side of the world. I just hope the recipients like them!

How could they not love them - those colours and textures are just gorgeous. I must stop blog-hopping and do some work of my own! The trouble is, I see such lovely things on other people's blogs.
