A full view of my Bayeux Tapestry project.
I often get requests to create and embroider
pieces of unique Middle Ages inspired pieces
much like this Bayeux Tapestry styled project.
A wall of stone behind the representation of the person who commissioned this piece.
The Bayeux Tapestry is a 224 foot (approximately 70 meters)
embroidered linen art that shows the history of
the Norman conquest of England.
She wanted her two dogs and cat in a series of actions telling a story of their lives.
My recreation of this piece is on linen and the thread is silk.
I still have to add the two dogs on the bottom border
as well as a third sceen with the three pets.
Eventually, I will be adding a sky sceen at the top
complete with Hailey's Comet.
Animals can be difficult to embroider, but with this style of embroidery it looks like a cartoon.
I began working on this project the Fall of 2017
but had to stop working on it the next spring due to
extreme pain just below my thumb.
Thinking it was a bone breaking; the doctors did as well,
but they found it was nothing more than a calcium deposit
that was braking from the bone.
OVER AND OVER AND OVER
Fortunately, I was able to find a surgeon who was able to fix it!
Now I am working on this project as well as seven others.

What could this project be?
Next week I will show you a four part project
I am doing for one of my daughters.
So far I only am working on one of the parts,
but soon I will start on the next.
