Stitch with Jennifer Pudney
Designed by Mary Self
I like the exuberance of Hungarian Embroidery, and how many variations you can get from some simple shapes. I first digitized the pomegranate outlines, then started stitching with 8 colours of the Madeira Lana thread. Each flower has every colour in it and no two are the same. This will be the start of something more.
The stitches used are chain stitch, split stitch, French knots, satin stitch, seed stitch and what I am calling bauble stitch for the top of the pomegranates.

The water was vaguely warm
The only sound, my own breathing
The little fish darted away and then back
looking at me.
The seaweed wobbled
just like my hair
Swimming in the lagoon:Samoa 2003. This is a really strong image that I took away with me – I would have had on a snorkle, but that is not such a pretty thing to embroider!
If I ever need a place to go in my head – where everything stands still, and all the noises stop, and there is no weight or pressure, then I use this.

Roadside flowers have always been my favourite.
I love the randomness and how they choose to grow in the grittiest toughest places

Stuff it she said
Who gives a toss
A stone that is rolling gathers no moss.

Gorgeous and girly, this design uses lovely bright pastels on a hot rose pink background, making this floral almost edible. This design was very satisfying to do, mostly in chain stitch – the colours fill in fast – very hard to put down!

This is my first design that shows a couple together as equal characters! I'm not sure what Freud would make of this missing component for so many years, and it's sudden appearance. The colours are a bit softer than my usual palette. This would be a great gift for the parents! Wedding anniversaries or retirement celebrations.

Just the design to do on those rainy days when cabin fever is about to set in!
