I always remembered that chap, Tom Katsumi who live cross stitched the election results in 2015 (here's the full story) and loved following it at the time. So, when I started to get excited about the Olympics this year, I thought I'd begin a fun little project live cross stitching the Team GB medals as they rolled in!
Little did I know, there would be so many and such a flurry on some days! I knew of the most famous Team GB members beforehand but it was great to follow some of the lesser known talents and hand stitch every little 'medal' which represented so much dedictaiton and hard work.
I'm now inspired to get cycling, rowing and trampolining (when the time allows!) A massive well done to the whole team on such a huge achievement with a whopping 67 medals in total (27 gold, 23 silver and 17 bronze).
Bring on Tokyo 2020! If you'd like to see the whole progression, please follow us on Instagram here.
I began cross stitching as an exercise for my brain after receiving a Traumatic Brain Injury at the end of 2013. My doctor agreed that having something to force my mind to concentrate would help with my healing processes, and I thoroughly believe that cross stitching helped to aid in my recovery!
When crafting worlds collide... they produce something wonderful! Are you a one craft kinda person or do you try a bunch of different things? I've always loved the simplicity of quilting designs and wondered how they'd fare being converted into cross stitch.
