HAPPY NEW YEAR

Merry Christmas to all my friends.

Tila necklace with matching earrings

I am very pleased with this necklace that I have created.

This brooch is based on brooches made in World War 1, and Textile Artist, Ingried showed our Stitch-in-9 Group how to make one.

This is a little brooch I have made for our guilds Christmas competition, we had to make a corsage with our name on it and this is my creation, or should I have said it with flowers.

A surprised bunch of flowers from hubby. They're lovely, but is there a motive to this, I wonder what he's after!!!

This hanging I have made for the Embroiderer's Guild exhbition "Mining the Golden Seam" which on at the moment at Bishop Auckland. I am told there are some fanastic preces on show, I'm going tomorrow to see it for myself.

We had fun at our Stitch-in-9 meeting last week, we stitched for about an hour in natural fabrics and threads , then painted dye onto them.

Progress report, I'm half way, so I'm half way finished. This is lovely to do on a night time, just sitting down and following the pattern, haven't got to use my brain and think what colour should I use next.

9 stranded bracelet. I may open my Folksy shop again, just in case anyone may like these to give as a gift.

THe beaded flower.

This was a fairly simple necklace to do, but getting the tension right between the pearls was a nightmare. After taking it out 3 times and doing it again, always ending up with the same result, I decided to leave it Designer.. Melita

This is my winter project. I'm the third person to have this rug, the other 2 people did a little bit to it and then tired of it. Hopefully, I'm not going to pass it on to anyone else to complete.

It certainly changes it having put the dye on it, I've dyed a backing piece of fabric but not sure whether to have blue on blue and red on red or turn it around so that the blue is on the red.

Where has the summer gone, September already. Just returned from a great 3 day workshop with Ruth Issett at skipton.We worked hard stitching into natural fabric such as cotton, linen and silk in neutral colours and then dyeing. Hee is one of my pieces before it was dyed.

Met Pollyanna, she has just made it in time to go with Phillippa to our exhibition at the Witham in Barnard Castle.

Met Phillippa, she is hoping to meet up with a few friends at Witham next month.

This necklace is made from toho seed beads in peyote and herringbone stitch.

This is the latest necklace that I have made from seed beads in albion stitch
