Making another scene on the design wall

Over the weekend I finished hand stitching down the shapes on this wool scene.

My mother took a workshop many years ago--maybe even decades--

and cut out and pinned this scene to a base fabric.

 

I took ownership of it over the holidays

and tweaked it a bit,

removing a building in one corner

and adding a few more hills.

I'd like to make it significantly bigger by adding borders of wool suiting.

And then I will extend the lines of the hills into the background

with hand and machine stitches.

 

I haven't ruled out cutting up the scene and sewing it back together.

So far, I'm just thinking about it.
