Greek summer in thread

Fall is officially here! It's been only a few days into September and the weather has changed a lot, it's been raining since yesterday and it seems it will continue like this for a few more days.
I didn't get to travel anywhere this summer but I did a bit of mental traveling by starting an ambitious embroidery project. I made these hoops as a reminder of my travels in past years, the dovecot is from Andros island, the temple is from the temple of Poseidon and the windmill from Santorini island!
Each hoop took a few days to finish and is one of a kind! I loved this project so much though I was a bit uncertain when I started and there were a couple of moments where I had to rip stitches and do them over. But overall it was a very fulfilling experience so much that now I'm trying to find another idea, something new that I can create with thread on these little hoops :-)
Wishing you a lovely day,

Embroidery work

I always wanted to try a more free style of embroidery, it is more demanding but the result is so worth it! I picked one of my photos as inspiration for this hoop, it's part of the temple of Poseidon against a blue sky. This is a one of a kind embroidery hoop, part of my "inspired by Greece" series :-)

Wishing you a lovely day,
Aleka
