Suzanne – I decided to create a map of my own neighbourhood, entitled “MY HOOD”.
In my stash I found what I thought to be a perfect background for a rural community – a light green linen.
I started by consulting Google Maps to get an overview of the area.
I used a variety of embroidery stitches, straight stitches, French knots, stem stitches, chain stitches and backstitches.
To add even more colour I used fabric markers to indicate the roadways, driveways. stream and ponds.
