Years ago ,, in an other century ,,,,, i made 2 cushions with a [classical] appliqued hexagon made out of smaller hexagons ,,,,,,,, time went by and usage, washing took their toll from this and now both cushions and esp the Cotton applique is frayed ,,,, ,,,, I washed it cut the hexagons +background off the old cushions, [ the good parts from one will be used by a quilter coleague , the other one is a lost case and will become a Window cleaning cloth. Now i have those 2 hexagons , as backgrounds and i strated to embroider over them a bit with machine Zizag than slowly i am building embroidery over the frayed parts ,,, they have become a symbol to the our EARTH ,, that we use and use .....i plant little stiches and beads that look likelittle bushes and trees.
