for Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt where the given word is Fabric and the word limit 131.
I found my friend Rosey sitting on a bench in the park, stabbing a piece of fabric with a needle and a tangled web of brightly coloured thread.
I asked if she was mending something. She frowned and said no, she was being creative; expressing herself through the medium of needlework.
It was… interesting. Apparently, it was an embroidery depicting a pastoral scene of fields and flowers.
“It’s, err, beautiful,” I said, as I tried to work out which way up it was!
I asked what the red blobs were.
“Poppies of course,” she said.
“Are they?” I said.
“OK, if you must know I keep pricking my finger with this needle and they’re bloodstains. But they look like poppies, don’t they?”
I left her to get on with her masterpiece!

Funny.
Not sure Rosey thought so! Thanks, Sadje.
You’re welcome
This friend os yours, Rosey is quite a character. 😛 Great take on the prompt, Keith. 🙂
She certainly is Shweta! Thanks so much.
Must be quite a painful work of creativity for Rosey, is it not?
She makes hard work of everything!
She needs a beginner kit. Or maybe she could crochet, the hooks don’t usually draw blood.
I’ll suggest it, though I think she’s probably dumped it and started a new project by now!
Dear Keith,
Rosey’s certainly good at entertaining us through your stories. 😉 Cute story…cute subject.
Shalom,
Rochelle
You could say Rosey and I are kindred spirits at sewing. Here’s mine. https://rochellewisoff.com/2020/04/26/weekend-writing-prompt-fabric/
At least that’s one thing she’s good at! Having just read yours, I tend to agree with you Rochelle!
More innovative than creative!
Very true Reena!
No pain…no gain!
No pain…no poppy!
Cheers,
CRD

Absolutely! Thanks.
Poor Rosie. Perhaps gift her a thimble? 😉
Birthday present solved – thanks Na’ama!
On the cheap, too! 😉
Well done! Alas for Rosey, though: she’ll have a double woe from this craft. Her poppies are going to look rather impressionist if she ever washes the fabric.
They probably will!
Oh poor Rosey… gotta give her an A for effort.
As for that smiling Rosey meme? Kinda has a “Joker” smile quality to it!!
At least she’s trying – very trying at times! See what you mean about her grin Dale!
That she is
and… 😉
I’m not sure which of you is dafter…
…so there’s a 50% chance it’s not me then!
Nice!
Thanks Dave
