Embroidery school and a collection of samples. I have three here, there are two more in progress. It's the headers on these three which have been getting a little attention this week. One has colourful bullion loops binding it, another has a row of pretty sequined loops, (the pink check one) whilst the plain white header has yet to be titivated. I'm dithering a little with that one.
It's a true pleasure to handle these, to feel the weight of the stitches, the beads, the buttons, the sequins and to appreciate how the different fabrics live together. There is silk, printed cotton, Broderie Anglaise, Liberty lawn and some old, old hankies.....
It won't be long until my five pieces are completed and bound together.
