Hello

Hi,  Apologies for the lack of recent posts.  I can assure you I have been busy.

I've been practising my free machine quilting - using different tensions.

 

And I made a pressie for a friends birthday pressie.

And, I've been to a class with the Embroiderers Guild at the Record Office for Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland.  We were given a very interesting talk and tour by one of the archivists. And then we went across the road to have our class with Alison Samain.  When I saw her work I was sure I wouldn't be able to produce anything like it.  But with some very good tuition, I did produce something that resembles her work.

I've also bought a few bits too.

Great buttons from Hobbycraft

And some ribbon from Wilkinsons - yes Wilkinsons.

So - I'm off to start pondering my piece for the Kickstart exhibition.
