February (2025) Poem Finished

He Wishes for the cloths of Heaven – W. B. Yeats

I finished the February poem of Tender Whispers from the Heart Year 1.

I love this poem – this is the one I am planning on sending to the exhibition. Now I just have the rest of the year to finish! Not to mention this year.

Tender Whispers – May

May’s Theme is Nature

The theme for May is nature. I decided to use Nothing Gold Can Stay by Robert Frost. I first came across this poem in the book The Outsiders by S. E Hinton – it was an assigned text. I think we even watched the movie in class. This poem had quite the impact on me at the time (melodramatic 14 year old), and when I came across it the other day I thought I would like to embroider it.

I am experimenting with printable soluble stabiliser – it didn’t destroy my printer (so one concern is gone). Now it remains to be see how easily it comes off.

June’s theme is Family, but I haven’t thought about that yet.
