This little book was created some time ago but I thought it deserved a little more attention.
Little circles of gingham have been embroidered and they will be added to a page before I create more small samples in order to completely fill this artist book.
I'm considering putting another one together too, maybe later today.
There's a new wrapping cloth in progress.
This one is mostly Liberty print fabric with added hand embroidery, patchwork, prairie points and lace.
The next step is a pocket for the surface.
There's still a way to go with this. More panels are needed before it gets backed and titivations are added to the edges.
You may have noticed my absence recently. Well I haven't been idle.
I finished the piece I showed you yesterday and I made myself a new pouch.
When I make these pouches I just embroider a square of cloth before adding a backing, (which becomes the lining). I then fold the piece, hand finish the edges and hey presto.
Usually the cente opening is left open but with this one I have added ribbon ties and vintage glass buttons.
Below are images taken before this was folded into shape.
Finished. This piece is now backed, embellishments have been added to two edges and there's a side pocket to hold my printed tape.
You can read more about this piece and the printed tape in this post.
Wow....it's 2024. How did that happen?
There has been plenty of stitching happening whilst I have been away, a lot of it involving these little patchwork pieces.
There's a new pouch almost finished and a new wrapping cloth very much in progress.
This piece is also finished.
Hopefully I will stick around long enough to share those with you.
