I have been working a little more on my ''fiddly sampler''. Pleated silk has been added to the mirror section and is in the process of being bound with needle weaving....I love it! At the moment I am half way done with this process but I am going to have to put it away for a while...slacking on class work I'm afraid and must catch up....No hardship though, it will just mean more white, a different kind of white but equally as wonderful to work on....

Thank you for sharing your journey in stitch.

I like the term "journey of discovery", Iceni....that is exactly what this is.
That pleating adds such spectacular texture, and the woven bars.....well, that is just genius!
Every morning I come to the computer with anticipation to see what jewel has surfaced during the night.
No pressure or anything, Karen....just keep doing what you do so that my day starts with a dose of elegant beauty.
It looks so beautifully crisp and elegant!
I love the effect of the woven bars Karen.
Hi Karen,
I have finally started my cloth! Between the 12 hr shifts and sewing for my etsy store I'm a little behind, I'm also blogging about it and I uploaded some photos to flickr (I think!) I haven't put the prairie points or loops on yet, but here's the link.

By the way I love the pleats. I couldn't find your email right away so wrote here. In a hurry - apple pie in oven. Will try new stitch tonight, Love, Linda
Love the pleating, and the bars that hold it....are they woven picot stitch? I love that stitch!
The pleats are the perfect foil for the rest of the piece and holding them in place with the beautiful bars was inspired. Your work is truely inspirational.
Such exciting work!
The first picture made me think of a corset - but a very elegant one! Very Gibson girl-ish.
