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 from the Heart – January finish
I have finished my January poem for the Tender Whispers from the Heart class. The theme was New Beginnings.
Aminata Sow Fall is a Senegalese poet. She writes in French, but I have used the translation.
The linen is an antique torchon (tea towel) and I used Au ver á soie perlée in shade 171.
It’s my hand-writing. I used a frixion pen, ruled lines, and then wrote the poem.
I am not sure about the buttons. I wanted a bit of decoration, but not too much, for me, it was all about the words.

May Poem (Embroidery)
I have started working on May’s poem.
I am using stem stitch. I am finding the thread (silk perlee) is unravelling.

Monthly Poems
Now that my name tag is out of the way, I can work on my monthly poems.
This is me transferring the poem onto my linen (it’s deadstock french tea towel linen).
I haven’t finished January or February yet, but my extra spools of silk have arrived.
