tolkien ramblings

And here's the final version of Maedhros - I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, I hope you like it too 💙

…But then I was looking at it and thought “why isn’t Sam wearing his Elvish cloak?”

And then I saw what Frodo was laying on. 🥺

galadriel | artanis | nerwen | lady of lórien

and the hair of the Lady was of deep gold… but no sign of age was upon them, unless it were in the depths of their eyes; for these were keen as lances in the starlight, and yet profound, the wells of deep memory.

After 179 hours of stitching, too much black thread to count, and some very tired fingers, my Beleriand Map is complete!

But also not entirely complete, because I need to wash the pattern paper off and then quilt back it. This entire thing needs to go in my bathtub (it’s too big to fit in the sink!) and so I’m gonna be having nightmares tonight about it all falling apart when I go to wash it. It shouldn’t - it won’t - because that’s not how anything works, but my brain will still worry 😛

Also obligatory picture of the back of the embroidery below:
