This is the final page for the cloth book I have been working on over the past few weeks. You last saw it here. This book has been taking shape over in the current 'embroidery school' class and when it's finished will mark the end of that class. I'm reluctant to embroider the edges of this, to finish it completely as that will bring the end of class too close for comfort. I get attached to my groups, to my classes, to the amazingly creative people who inspire me throughout all of my classes and I'm rubbish at goodbyes.
Nevertheless....I must crack on and finish this, then I can put the book together with the group. As I have said before this particular cloth book will be formed of four pages. Four pages of embroidered samples and I guess the linings, the reverses qualify as samples too. It's weighty when all the pages are together and it's quite large too, with each page measuring around 22 x 15 inches. Tonight I will embroider the edges of this one, finish it with some buttonhole lace......
The new run of embroidery schoool begins in September. You can read about that here. I'm sampling buttons and making detailed notes for our first few weeks of that one and who knows where we will end up creatively when our 12 weeks is up.
