From Russia with Love

From Russia with Love
My first Bond movie at the cinema and Sean Connery was the answer to every girl's dream! His escapades on the screen were so thrilling in 1964 and the stunts and set pieces sent a shiver up the spine.
This time I have made the piece from commercial fabrics and the black swirls have been blanket stitched for security with the picture of James himself having been added at the end with Steam-a-seam, always guaranteed to stick small pieces of fabric in place!

Ann's snow:

                                               Oh Come All Ye Faithful!!
The snow is white cotton torn into strips and stitched down in the centre of each piece, the evening sky is a section from a piece of silk that was indigo tied and dyed.  The carol singers is a section taken from an old Christmas card, I re-drew them and added them in pieces with Bondaweb before blanket stitching around them. Finally a semblance of snow was added with several rows of patterning off my Janome Horizon.
Lovely subject although I did stall at one stage as I too was going to do snow flakes but decided to rethink it!

Thank you Wil for your Christmas wishes, a very Happy Christmas to one and all, all the very best for the festive season
