It never ceases to amaze me how we can have such a strong connection with a piece of cloth, this is why I am not surprised to find myself here, mending this khanta quilt, perhaps it will take the same time as if I ventured to make a new one... but Memories must be preserved and cherished. Mending is love.
No deja de asombrarme como podemos tener una conexión tan fuerte con un trozo de tela, es por eso que no me sorprende encontrarme aquí, remendando esta colcha de khanta, tal vez me tome el mismo tiempo que si me atreviera a hacerla. uno nuevo... pero los recuerdos deben ser preservados y apreciados. Remendar es amor.

Guess the colors?! And speaking of colors, this embroidery has shown me the mutability of colors, I cannot capture them in the photo and they change when I sew them on the fabric, I love colors! #camaleon #handembroidery #bordadoamano #frenchknots #nudofrances #madeinireland #madeindublin taken in Dublin, Ireland by @colour_stitches

So hard to take a picture of this one, trying to get the color and volume of the work is virtually impossible and also Nina's #photobomb #handembroidery #bordadoamano #stitchbystitch #puntadaapuntada #loveembroidery #amobordar by @colour_stitches

This piece is definitely more challenging than I expected, I'm retaking it after a break working on other pieces #handembroidery #bordadoamano #handmade #hechoamano #lines #lineas #stitchbystitch #puntadaapuntada by @colour_stitches
