During my trip to Sweden, I saw this at the front door of an hotel. It was supposed to represent the archipel of islands and lakes around Stockholm.

Lovely piece made from your inspiration. Must be the weekend for inspired work. I have a couple of projects going too. :)
Great blog! Thanks for the comment on my postcards on my blog!
Well done for incorporating the TAST stitch - the piece is great!! I've never heard of this week's stitch, but you've definitely done it justice....
What a great idea! What is the ground fabric? What is the blue fabric? It looks ethereal. Very original.
