The sample/swatch book, collection idea evolved from the online class ''embroidery school''. The collection created there can be seen in this post. I got so much pleasure from creating that one meaning I just had to create another. This is it, almost finished. I say almost because although the headers are joined, although it's fixed into a leaf through swatch book I am continuing to add embroidery to the reverse and there's still quite a way to go with that. (the last image shows partial embroidery on the reverse in progress)
This one consists of four large embroidered pieces of cloth. Each piece has a variety of stitches and embroidery processes on the surface, on the edges. There are several more pieces of embroidered cloth ''in progress'' in addition to the ones joined here. They will from the third sample swatch book.
There are two very brief videos here from my Instagram feed relating to this sample swatch book.
