The Take it Further February design concept is What are you old enough to remember…I interprette that to mean not my oldest memory but the oldest memory that would be shared by others, so from my First Thoughts I have taken the local memory of the New Ballina Catholic Church or more specifically the closeing of the Old Church which I also link to a family memory because my sister was the last baby to be Baptized in the old church in 1962…
The old church was a tall narrow building with steps up to a small porch at the front and painted brown, to me a much nicer building than the modern, blond brick, building of the new church.
Umm, I think that I should have done more experiments with how the fabric pens worked on the linen and then
not coloured the building…it looked a lot better as an outline than it did after painting.

I have always been fascinated with buildings and wanted to do them in needlework.Thanks for sharing the drawing as well as the needleworked piece of the church.Your post shows how one should go about it.
