Sandra Forsythe's Mellerstain Stag

Written By Laura Turnbull - September 26 2019

My stag has just come off the frame. I enjoyed him very much. Not in any way perfect but I learned such a lot and just love the feel of the fabric and the noise the thread makes. The lazy daisies in the flowers were stitched jointly with my ten-year-old. A great moment of companionship for us. Thank you for the hours of fun and learning. (It turns out I love French knots! :)) I will definitely be back for more in future.
