This is my railway
carriage - it is stitched on a piece of 14 count aida attached to a piece of
upholstery fabric.
The design and words
are all my own work, the threads are from my scraps bag, the railway line is a
long piece of black threaded under the stitches in the sleepers. It's a
really nice effect and very quick to do.
I don't want to get
too political (stitching is my stress relief!) but the main thrust of the
campaign is to protest about the fare hikes planned. Rail travel is the
greenest way to travel long distances and we should be supporting it. I
commuted 30 miles a day for 17 years by train and loved my journeys. I
met so many interesting people, some of whom changed my life. I read so
many books and stitched so much too. We also had two weddings thanks to
our journeys. If you're interested then check out the links for The Craftivist Collective
