It's been awhile since my last fiber post. My heart has been warmed by the many personal emails I've received wishing 'the husband' well with his cervical spine surgery and the long recovery ahead. I'll skip over the drama and simply say it's been rough, but thankfully except for the tremendous pain, the other negatives/risks have been avoided. My household duties have expanded but it's nothing I can't handle.
So.....this is what was accomplished after nearly a week sitting in a hospital room. How very fortunate it was to have something to distract and occupy my mind.
Samples of hand dyed plaid wool were fun to incorporate. The hand embroidery was time consuming yet very satisfying....the perfect technique given the circumstances.

What a happy bunch of flowers! The embroidery accents are perfection. Do hope the days ahead see steady progress for your husband and that you stay well and keep plugging with lots of "fiber therapy" for you. All the best.
These are so inspirational. wishing your dh ood recovery!
Sorry to learn about your husband's surgery but glad to know that he is recovering. Your piece is beautiful. Glad you had something to keep your hands busy.
Love what you were able to create during what had to be a stressful time, art therapy at it's best. Hope the hubby is improving.
Well my! Isn't this a bright & cheery piece - the very antithesis of what you have been going through. I love the delicasy of the embroidery and especially the staggered stitch lengths along the outer edge. So glad you had this as a distraction. :-)
These flowers are so fun and cheerful! Just what I needed on a grey day!
What happiness as you go through this latest "adventure". Praying for healing and rest.
It is a lovely piece, Mary!!! Just like you!!!!
hopefully your husband is well onthe way to revcovery now. The folk art flowers are a delight
I love the flowers! And I know how helpful it is to have some art to work on while waiting in a hospital. Glad everything is working out well for your husband.
