I had a blinding revelation last night. They don't happen very often so I have to make the most of them. What I thought, would these look like hung from a simple contraption with simple clips? and here you have it, not bad me thinks. Could turn out to be a damp squib of course, you may not care what they would look like hung from any kind of contraption but hey, at least now I know. This is the latest but definitely not the last piece of white on white, kind of patchwork, very much embroidery. I like the fact that this is square, the others could have been square too, no particular reason for any shape really just however the fancy takes me.
I do have to say that I am not responsible for the big, beautiful flower on this piece, not quite that talented I'm afraid. It was cut from a piece of old cloth, can't take credit for what's not mine.
I am at the end of what seems like a marathon, an enjoyable marathon though. This is my seventh post in a row but I doubt I will make it to eight. I have stuff to do tomorrow, pins to package for a start and holiday stuff. Yes I am off on my holidays soon, well four weeks, but there are things I need to sort out in advance. You don't get rid of me that easily though, if it's not tomorrow it will be tuesday.
Have a lovely sunday...

your pieces would look beautiful no matter how they are displayed. may i suggest your name be more prominent on your pieces. it could easily be cropped out being so small. have a great sunday.
I thought about that Deanna but it really grieves me to have to do it at all and I hate how it looks. I am scared of spoiling my images if it's bigger. Fingers crossed no thieves aren reading this but if it does happen then I will make it HUGE!!!
I like the hanging contraption, I can see a long panel hanging from something like this
I started embroidery in 1972 but I never got to your level. Your work is divine. You add such beauty to the world.
You could extend the idea of hanging pieces by putting a pocket for a dowel in the back of the piece, as well...
Karen, to display it this way is a great idea and if you would make it larger it could be turned into a room-divider. Wouln't that be awesome!!!
Yes, your work would be very pretty displayed on a wall, but I think I would mount it in a box and cover it with glass to keep it pristine as it is in your images.
Beautiful work!

Wouldnt it look lovely if you made a big peice as a bed head .hanging from a contraction ,or framed in one of those ,decapauge(sp) frames ,...love Jan xx
Looks great hanging, but I agree in a shadow box or framed with glass would protect your work.
Ooh yes I like the contraption with you rwork on it.
It's a beautiful piece and I do like this way of displaying it!
This is a great idea! I can envision a series of these hung similarly to a bell pull ( if you get the mental image I'm trying to portray).
I wonder if you could source some vintage trouser hangers- as a reference back to your idea around domesticity and women's work? Just a thought as they do look ace 'hung'. xxx
