I inadvertently created a lollipop! The applique with the bullion knot edge...can you see a lollipop? I continued with this piece yesterday and also finished off the puffs. My new piece will have to wait until I come back from my travels. I want to ponder that one a little, make sure I am certain where I want to take it
I am amazed at how quickly this pouch is progressing. If I wasn't going away it would be backed, edged and finished by the weekend. Tonight I hope to finish the surface embroidery, the final touches and then I will damp stretch it ready for finishing when I get back next week. Hopefully the pin pillows will be finished by the end of next week too. I just have to hope that I don't find too many vintage treasures in London that will distract me and throw me off course. Then again....you know I will.
