Emily Peacock Tapestry- The Meeting Place.

I was sorting through some stuff today and came across this tapestry. It was my first attempt at needlework and was a HUGE undertaking for a beginner project. It took the guts of a year on and off and by the time I finished, I was sick of the sight of it! I must get it framed and onto the wall, as its so vibrant. It doesn't look that way in the photo, but we don't seem to be getting any natural light these days. So hard to get decent photos of anything.

The kit was bought from Emily Peacock and she has some fantastic designs available. I have always wanted to make the Hug and Kiss pillows. I think they were featured on that Kirstie Allsop crafting programme.

I love this new design as well.

And this older one too!

    1. Thanks Leigh. I would love to do something that size again, but I need to psyche myself up for it first!

  3. That is an amazing tapestry and if I had done such a fabulous job it would already be hanging on the wall! I started a tapestry once but only worked on it when I was pregnant with my three children and it was put away in between. I came across it a number of years ago and pulled it out to see if I could finish it and when my husband came home, he thought I was trying to tell him I was pregnant again lol!

    1. Thanks Carol It's funny you should say that as I was pregnant when I started that project as well. It must be something in the hormones that compels us lol.
