A very textured sheep!
“
I have been a stitcher for over 50 years. I chose to stitch the
front door of Belvedere School as I had retired from there in the
summer of 2007 after twenty-one years of teaching. Although I
mostly taught ICT, I also made costumes for school productions
and ran a lunchtime cross-stitch club to introduce the girls to
stitching, so to stitch a piece to mark this seemed appropriate.
Also around this time, the Belvedere School after 125 years as an
independent school became the Belvedere Academy, ending one
phase of its existence and beginning another. So again it seemed
appropriate to mark this in the 08 Tapestry.
I have enjoyed the challenge of learning new stitches and
techniques, and developing my own design rather that following a
pattern. I had the opportunity to share ideas with other stitchers
and would like this to continue in the future.”
