I wanted a concrete picture of Stockholm, not something symbolic (like the subway map).

The combination of earth-toned buildings, water, and greenery all together feel like quintessential Stockholm to me.<\/p>\n<p>The group&#8217;s suggested end date for the project is mid-May. I&#8217;m pretty sure I&#8217;m not going to be done by that time. The marked area on the fabric is 30 by 45 cm. I get a lot for free from the background fabric &#8211; I won&#8217;t be embroidering much on the sky or the water &#8211; but that&#8217;s still quite a lot of fabric to cover with stitches. But I&#8217;d rather make something that I can be proud of, perhaps even hang on a wall, than focus on a deadline. If it takes me until Christmas &#8211; well, then it does.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/daily\/0706_Karlberg.jpg\" class=\"x6y45\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting ready to start working on the Stockholm-themed embroidery at the embroidery club tomorrow.
