Lots of images today!
A shop update.
I finally got round to listing these three books in the shop.
All hand embroidered.
Gingham, Liberty fabric, white tissue.....
French knots, bullion knots, web stitches, little scraps of ribbon.
There are lots more images on the individual listings if you want to take a look.

Silk Dupion pages, hand painted pattern, embroidered motifs, patchwork flowers.
Last time I spoke about this little silk book I had finished one page.
I now have two.
I need eight.
I also need eight page reverses and another six patchwork flowers.
Best crack on Karen....
I guess the 'cloth book' is a running theme here.
I last spoke about those here.
Yesterday, whilst 'sorting through' a pile of embroidered work I came across unmounted samples, perfect pieces for the current cloth book.
New fabric and embroidery will be added to some of these, creating more embroidered pages.
Do you remember this from a few days ago?
It's finished now, tiny applique circles edged with sequined bullion knots are dotted across the piece.
It has also been damp stretched.
This will be the front cover of my latest cloth book.
The other piece here will be the reverse of that cover.
At the moment both pieces are pinned around three sides.
Next is basting, removing pins and hand stitching these pieces together.

A large panel, 23x15 inches of white cotton seersucker fabric, applique, sequins, bullion knots and gimp.
This will be the front cover of my latest embroidered sample cloth book.
I've added a few images below of the pages for this book because once again.........
Typepad stole my original post.
(can you tell it still hurts)
I've been thinking about my embroidered sample books, there are a few.
I may create a page on here dedicated to those.
If I do I will let you know.
This book started life in my online learning group.

Finally....a little video which also dissapeared with my Typepad blog.
