This was a thrift store find, originally white linen that I overdyed with Prairie tea (Croton) gathered in our yard a couple of years ago. The plackets needed to be tacked down, so I started some detached back stitching with variegated Valdani #12 pearl cotton last month ...
but as so often happens, I liked the back better ...
so the first pass got ripped out and replaced with inside-out detached backstitching. One side done, one to go.
And no, I haven't forgotten our travels need to be documented further ... all in good time.
