We don't know if Janet Clare named this embroidery after the Maori Proverb - "turn your face toward the sun and the shadows will fall behind you."  Whatever the reason, it's a beautiful embroidery and idea.  Especially right now.  

Stitched on quilting cotton - Janet stitched hers on a piece of her own fabric - with cotton embroidery floss, Turn To the Sun uses a Backstitch, Satin Stitch and French Knots.  It's beautiful framed in the hoop, and it would make a lovely little pillow.  

Janet used her Lecien Cosmo Sky collection for the threads.  

While the collection is a few years old and hard-to-find, these are the 12 colors:

• 365
• 712
• 152A
• 893
• 894
• 895
• 981A
• 982
• 734
• 735
• 169
• 600

Turn to the Sun can be found on Janet Clare's website - Free Patterns.

Thank you Janet!  

Happy Stitching.  And stay safe.
