Windin' your way down on Baker Street....

For once, I've actually completed a CJ entry weeks ahead of the due date, unheard of! :D


This is my page for Sherry's fabric CJ - I chose the song Baker Street, and based my interpretation around that great saxophone solo that the song is known for

Compared to my last fabric CJ entry for Pam, this one's more painting less sewing - as the canvas fabric supplied to work on had a great texture and I didn't want to cover it all up.

I did embroider the music notes though:

(I've never quite mastered French knots before so was glad of the practice :) )

And I dragged out my trusty sewing machine to add a border to finish it all off

Sonja, I think I'll still sit on this until the due date, if that's ok with you, as I'd hate for it to go missing in the crazy Christmas post
