I was feeling very pleased with myself as I damp stretched the second one of these embroidered folders last night which I have been working on over the Christmas period for London 2018, my upcoming workshop. I patted myself on the back a few times and relaxed a little because I already have one completely finished piece and these two which are at a very advanced stage. That was until I took the photographs this morning. One of these has something missing which I didn't realise until I edited these images, I'm sure you can spot it. Oh well, I'm still happy with the progress I am making. There are a few of these still to be made but as I embroider on each one I get excited about how they will be when they are finished, about the pieces I am going to put inside them, the workshop kits, the cloth, the papers, the little unexpected things . You will be able to see all that after the event I promise. I will take lots of pictures.............
I'm hoping to make progress with the cover for my personal cloth book today and tomorrow. I am desperate to finish that so I can begin to add my embroidery samples to it. If you remember I measured it wrongly.....I speak about that here. What with measuring errors and forgetting embellishments on this work I think I have Christmas brain fog.
The embroidered band for the edge, to rectify the measuring error still needs a little more embroidery but once that's done it can be damp stretched and I will be good to go putting it all together....
