Fun with the embellisher

Last night we visited the Embroiderers’ Guild in Chelmsford.  I gave a talk and demonstration on the embellisher, and I had a lovely time!  Afterwards there was a chance for members to try one of the three machines we took with us, and I’m glad to say that several gave it a go!  It was a truly lovely evening and we were looked after very well.

Unfortunately we travelled home at ‘that time of night’.  Those of you that don’t know the M25 won’t realise that there is a lot of reconstruction happening at the moment.  Many of the lanes are closed at various times – and last night several stretches were down to a single carriageway.  It was tedious, and therefore nearly 1am by the time we arrived home.  We weren’t frustrated, though – what’s the point?  There was absolutely nothing we could do about it, so we just patiently joined the queue.

Today I’ve been enjoying myself on the sewing machine.  I had some work to finish, and at the same time I’ve been making some more cards.  Here’s one using my hand-dyed paper.

All cards are for sale, and would also look good in a little frame.  If you would like to buy one let me know.
