Today is Canberra Day…A little history, The site to build Australias Capital city was chosen in 1908 and was named Canberra in 1913 making today our 95th year as a city.
At the start of the seam I have done a stylized Black Mountain Tower, it is a telecommunications tower built in the late 1970s and a significant Canberra Landmark…I have stitched the tower with wool thread because the site of Canberra was sheep farms before the city was built…
The words are stem stitch done with 2 strands of cotton floss.

Thanks for the bit of history. How fun to stitch that on the day!
