Collecting Supplies
I enjoyed the six week embroidery course so much that I have signed up for the next one in September. I have given a lot of thought to my next project and am determined to be a bit more organised this time round :) I bought some paper backed silk that can be run through the printer, I would like to try and scan my grandparents wedding photo and make some sort of crazy quilt wall hanging. While I am figuring out the actual design, I have begun to start collecting possible threads and embellishments - possibly more fun than the actual embroidery! I have bought this pretty box to house them all...

Lovely stranded cottons in delicate shell pink and ivory...
Some over-dyed cottons...
Some silks...
perle cotton and silk...
some lace, silk ribbon and spangly bits!
Metallics...
I have to confess that most of this came from my stash, years of cross stitch and hoarding pretty things have come in handy! I will need more silk ribbon for what I have in mind :) Now I just need to work out the actual design!

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful stash. I am collecting a similar palette right now for a second project of the lace flowers that I made on my Breakfast at Tiffany's piece. Can't wait to see what you do with it all.
