leave the imaginary handbag pinned up where I can see it whilst I am waiting for the crucial, creative revelation. In the meantime I am going to continue with the crazy patchwork. That is getting quite exciting now because I have decided on my second panel and hope to get going on that later today.
Now for the most exciting part of today, or maybe the whole year......Look what my postman brought me this morning! A huge package of the most beautiful fabric and embroidery you will ever see. This is a gift from the amazing Jude. What a gift, I was and am totally speechless. Prepare yourself for a visual feast. Like a child in a sweet shop!

What a fabulous parcel ull of wonderful goodies!
What a beautiful pieces! Here, some of those fabrics (white ones) are called English Embroidery.
Do you know why? I don't, I have to investigate...
Your work is perfection, which goes without saying.....my turn to be a little bit jealous ......such a lovely gift of beautiful textiles. :-)
oh wow - what a gift - lucky you. and the buttons on the handbag look good.
A glorious gift for you-at some point you will know just what you will do with each piece.
What a treasure trove. A fantastic gift
Wow! What a lovely package. By the way, I am loving the handbag. :-)Gayle
Sorry I missed the last post, but I am all caught up now!
I think the handbag will be beautiful, and of course I don't see what was bothering you about the original piece, as it looks amazing to me.
But I do identify very much with that feeling, when applied to some of my own work!
I think as artists, because we work so intimately with our work... and know what we originally envisioned, compared to what we actually create... as well as every little perceived imperfection, (that only we generally see) ... it makes us very critical of our own work at times.
I say go for the handbag!
Beautiful work! You have the patience of a saint! Would love to have you come on as guest artist on my blog. I also started a social network that might interest you: http://fiberfocus.ning.com/
Consider yourself invited! I'm adding you on to my blog roll. Very nice indeed!
Oh-h-h-h-h! To both the bag-in-progress and the gift goodies.
I SO identify with your comments about being dissatisfied with our own work.
crucial creative revolution is what we wait for.....
looking at the selections i made posted right on your blog makes it seem to me that some of the choices fit right in. enjoy. as i always do when i come here.
Hello Karen, I've recently discovered your blog and I think your work is wonderful, I was so excited when I found you. Your work really strikes a chord with me as someone obsessed with vintage fabrics and neutral tones!Your stitching is really beautiful.
