The Last Sunday Stitching for 2021

 Here we are the day after Christmas and the last Slow Sunday Stitching in 2021. I am happy to say I had time yesterday evening to get some stitching in and pleased to present the last Goddess of the Month hand embroidery for 2021, Airmid (also known as Airmed, Airmeith or Airmedh) is the Irish Goddess associated with healing, and particularly herbal healing. She is also associated with gardening, nature, family and loyalty.

I completed the stitching late last night, washed off the stitch and wash product and hung her up to dry, this morning I snapped her photo wrinkled fabric and all.   Here is a close up of the foraging bag at her hip.

This is one of my favorite images of Airmid by Jane Brideson, she does some of the most beautiful pieces of Art I especially love her Cailleach pieces. This is the link to her website take a look http://theeverlivingones.blogspot.com/

On her website she has a list/map of flowers and plants used in the Airmid image. I haven't decided if I am going to do a new monthly challenge for 2022.  I may just continue on with goddesses. Currently I am in the midst of creating a new Greenman piece and I'm also planning to put together a quilt this year using this lovely goddess fabric I purchased from Spoonflower for a shop Magic in Your Living Room, there is also an Etsy shop of the same name.

There are 2 different fabric panels, one surrounded by a yellow border and one with out a border.  I

am planning to use all of the squares to make a quilt, then I had an idea to alternate each block with a hand embroidered block using a basic goddess shape.  Nothing is set in stone so I will let my ideas brew until I have a final decision.

Here is a look at all 12 Goddesses I hand embroidered during 2021

All these pieces have to be trim to the same size if I decide to make them into a quilt, if not just trimmed and finished possible ideas prayer flags, framed or mounted and made into a book.

Well there is time to decide.  This week I have a few things I want to finish up and things to get done before the start of a brand new year. But for now I need to toss something in the oven my sister and her family are coming later today.
