Well I have been working on the latest project from Shelagh Folgate it was to make a set of bunting, It used lots of techniques which were fun to do and I used my favourite word DREAM on the pennants. I made it double sided and it is hanging in the doorway between my studio and sewing room.

Embellished Stitched Landscape

I have been having fun making this landscape wallhanging, I chose the fabrics first, some I had dyed and a couple I had rusted. I then embellished scrim, threads and lace onto it, then embroidered more threads and then beaded it all. Feel quite sad it is finished now.

Dry Felted Nine Patch wallhanging

Dry Felted Nine Patch Wallhanging

Well I am taking Dale Rollerson's Hot Needles and Cool Stitches Workshop and our first lesson is on dry felting, , I made nine samples and then made them into a wallhanging. It was very addictive and shall have to make further samples, Great fun.

Felted picture frame

Picture Frame

I then decided to add a picture frame to a piece of work I did about 6 years ago, it was using a Japanese programme to turn a photo into an embroidery. I used soft merino wool toppings and dry felted them using Dale Rollersons method of rolling it in bubble wrap. Then embellished it with the babylock and added some felted leaves and beads. Another project done. All part of my New years Resolution to get things finished.
