I got a quote for professional photographs last week, I won't tell you what it was and I do actually think it's quite reasonable, I'm all for paying people the going rate for their skill, but, I am afraid I can't justify laying that out at the moment. I do think though that I will definitely pay for a good portfolio of images sometime in the near future, I think it would be a valuable marketing tool. Because of this and with the deadline fast approaching, I have been taking photos all day, trying to get three good images (the max I am allowed) of the two pieces I want to submit to the upcoming textile open. I have put in this image of the full hook and eye cloth here to give you some idea of how it looks. It's not the best image, I won't be including it in my submission, but some of you mentioned how you would like to see the whole thing, so here it is. I am however really pleased with one of my detailed shots, folds, pleats and edge that you can see underneath.


My latest piece is not coming on very fast, I have had a lot of family stuff to do and I won't be here tomorrow so I have kind of rushed this bit in order to keep you interested and give you an idea of what's going on.
I am doing crazy patchwork. This is the beginning of a long journey, I still need to embroider a large text panel and definitely need to do more applique. I haven't decided on the form of the surface embroidery for the seams yet, that will most likely evolve as I go along. I do like the way it's looking at the moment though.
