For the past month sadly no time to blog but needle and thread have been kept very busy
Fiona has continued to stitch the pieces for the needlework accessory set ready for me to do the construction it’s been good team work and at this point I have one last piece to put together the needle book, I might just make it by the end of the month, still need to get some photos of all of the pieces this photo is from about the middle of the month. we kept to the three flower combination and only a few pieces have charts the rest are stitched making new groupings.
I have also been stitching my piece for the guild display at Conference later in the year we are to stitch an initial, I'm doing the letter J white stitching on very dark blue silk it looks good but is proving hard to photograph I lose the colour of the silk and the embroidery does not stand out like in the real piece, I need to try in different light conditions. I plan to stitch it twice as negative and positive, the first one just needs a few more French knots to finish it.
Making the embroidered orts containers has been very successful project and on Wednesdays the three of us have moved on to a new project.. a Toberone shaped etui. I will share more about that next time
Meanwhile happy stitching.
