Allthough I finished my hook and eye cloth the other day, my need for excitement wasn't satisfied. So, I have started another cloth. I get so excited about my cloths, especially when I start a new one. I can already see it in my head, how it will look when it's finished and it is so frustrating not to be able to show that here yet. You will have seen work like this from me before but I assure you these pieces of embroidery will not look like anything I have ever done before when I am finished. There is going to be a lot of preperation to do for this, sewing different pieces, with different techniques before it all becomes clear. I also need to embroider text onto a huge piece of silk before I go much further, please be patient! This applique is not yet damp stretched, see how impatient I am, showing you before it's stretched!
I want to say thanks to everyone who has commented on my last couple of posts. There is nothing better than going to an inbox full of encouraging and complimentary comments, to think that when I first started blogging I couldn't buy or beg a comment!!

Looking forward to the new wrapping cloth - they are absolutely beautiful!!!! Cant wait to see your progress.
The pincushions are so gorgeous!!!
I've just started doing some of these...not sure what you call them - the stitching on the cards? I'm hoping to make enough, out of scraps, for a quilt - I take my little baggie of them with me everywhere I go wh en I know I'm going to be sitting for a while - keeps me busy! I love your cloth with the hooks and eyes - so very clever! Everything, as usual, is so beautiful...and don't stress on cleaning the house before you start your job...it will all be there waiting for you when you come home! xo, Nan
