The Alphabet Club - B

(For the full story on what this is, check out The Alphabet Club.)

This month, my “B” word is the Japanese noun Bara, which means rose. The town I live in is famous for its rose garden and the rose is the town’s symbol.  When we first came to Japan, I pulled out this blackwork piece that I had started when I was in the US.  It didn’t take long to finish it, but I have yet to do something with it.  Any ideas?  Maybe a bag or a wall hanging?  I don’t know.

 

Check back on the first Saturday of next month for my “C” word.  You can read about the words of the other participants here.

    o wow, this is lovely! I'm not sure how big it is, but it would make an amazing book/iPad cover. But anything you make is always amazing so looking forward to your creativity :D

    Glad to find a new blog on my Alphabet Club Tour and in Japan! Love your rose, I would sew it in the middle of a pillow or a curtain with some matching black fabrics. Amitiés xxx

    Your blackwork rose is lovely, I guess I would put it into some lovely black vintage frame.

    Oh Pamela, this is just stunning. Such a wonderful piece, and the Blackwork stitching also fits as a B letter word :)
