I have been making lace and working with lace. Two new pieces were put together yesterday afternoon and two others have been embroidered, bullion knots, French knots, buttons, hooks and eyes have all been added along with too many buttonhole lace edges to count. There are also piped edges here, very fine piped edges, fiddly central...good thing I am a fan of fiddly.
The lace, the blue, the text, it's all happening over in Simply stitch 4, which to remind you will be open for registration throughout.....until the very last day, unlike Alchemy which will close soon.
Back to the lace.....I think I'm in love. It's so very delicate and wonderful to stitch on, like butter, like breath. I have big plans for these pieces....watch this space.
I am so behind today, running late for everything. I had an appointment this morning which took forever. I haven't even checked on class yet, goodness knows what they're up to. But I must say thanks for the feedback re the workshop idea. It needs to be London because there are other things to tempt you to London such as Liberty, the V&A, the silk shops of Soho, the vintage shops.......and much much more. I'm thinking one day for the workshop and if there is enough demand running it twice. I would prefer a weekend, April? May? around then.....keep the feedback coming whilst I consult my brain for more in the way of firm plans.
