There's quite a collection building of these little white sheets. A mix of paper, cloth and lace, each of these has been enhanced with hand embroidery. Some have ribbon, some have sequins, some have beads. For quite some time I have been wondering what to use them with. Initially they were born from my 'overlay' making. I guess they are 'overlays' but this time they will be used as a protection for cloth samples, embroidered cloth, applique and cross stitch as opposed to providing protection for embroidered papers.
This morning I have spent a few hours preparing for the '12 month stitch along' which begins in less than a week. My table has been covered with these pieces and more. (the gingham bag holds my vintage handkerchiefs) I have begun work on our first piece for class....it's all becoming very real.
