Stella's Contemporary Twist |
Janet has contacted us to say she has finished the work started with Stella at the last meeting inspired by the Charles Rennie Mackintosh rose.
She used a piece of handmade paper, brusho sprayed at the Colourcraft Day. She stenciled three roses using paint sticks then Sashiko stitched on the outline of the rose.

Janet would have liked to use a darker green thread but used what she had access to.
Well Done Janet! It is very pretty and the design is in the Spirit of Mackintosh but using paper.
Experimental Stitching to construct a Book for Wedding Guests to sign.
The following experimental stitching has just been completed by Mary. Her granddaughter has just got engaged and she wants to make a book for all the wedding guests to sign and write messages in on the day.
She has been working on a beautiful piece of hand-dyed velvet couching a cord made on her cord machine.
She is going to continue trialling and intends to try white silk.
It is very beautiful and your granddaughter is lucky to have a grandmother go to so much trouble for her and her future husband.
Good Luck with the sampling!
Gardening,sewing and knitting
Because of the lovely Spring weather, Bev has been spending a lot of her time in the garden getting things ready for the growing season.
In between gardening she has also managed to finish her bag, wind her temari ball ready for stitching and knit a very pretty coloured jacket.
Your garden looks good and I love the colours of your jacket. Keep up the good work!
