The creators of those monthly events offered us a quite total liberty to how develop them. My post will show this letter into worlds of stitching, words, drawings, designs, garden, cooking, music and travels.
Evocation of a word begining with the letter linked to DIY activities.
I comme indienne
généralement dans les tons de rouge à cause de la racine de plante utilisée pour sa teinture : la
garance.
Ces étoffes "indiennes" car initialement importées des comptoirs des
Indes. Toiles peintes,
Indiennes ou
Perses, répondant aussi aux noms de madras, pékin, gougourans, damas ou cirsacs étaient strictement interdites à l'importation à partir du
xviie siècle.
Indienne (from Eastern India), was a type of printed or painted textile manufactured in Europe between the 17th and the 19th centuries and resembling similar textile originally made in India.
They received various other names as madras,pékin (Peking), perse (Persia), gougouran, damas, and cirsacs. The beautiful, vibrant, colors came from the garance plant for red, indigo for blue, and gaude for yellow.
Indiennes were extremely popular, and attempts at import substitution were soon made. In 1640, Armenian merchants introduced Indian textile printing techniques at the port of Marseille. Later, England (1670) and Holland (1678) would also adopt the technique.

I comme initiale
I finished my two last stitchings for Easter, B & C...
and a little story to share, my initial name is Q, and my mother told me once that she stitched one on a napkin to bring to school for canteen time, big laughs followed when I discovered at past 20 that I have always asked myself "why have she choosen an apricot to stitch in the middle of my napkin?" as apricot wasn't a common fruit in our aera no more than a favorite one!
Stem wasn't in the right way that's all.
Petite histoire de brodeuses en famille, j'ai découvert très tard que ce que je prenais pour un abricot brodé au milieu de ma serviette de table de cantine était en fait une initiale Q retournée.
I dans la ville ou plutôt ici dans le jardin

confection de mini enveloppes et petites cartes à messages attachées à différentes saveurs de thé de chez Whittard achetées au Comptoir Irlandais
to present an assortment of Whittard teabags (as Christmas gift), making of small enveloppes containing miniature cards with tea stories or proverbs,
