Wren Etui

I spotted Jenny Adin Christie‘s wren for the first time when Catherine of Hillview Embroidery and I attended a workshop by Jenny at Au ver à Soie in Paris during their Nuit de la Broderie in February 2018. The odd thing was that at first I never realised that it was embroidered when I saw…

Helen Richman’s ‘Stumpwork Embroidery’

This beautiful little cat arrived perfectly in time for Caturday!
Back home and I have another day off before going back to work tomorrow.
The final class of this week already. It has truly flown by.
I spend a lovely morning at Eltham Palace (@englishheritage) today.
Had a great day in class today. Just wanted to keep stitching when it was time to go home.
…and in other news…the box is back! So glad to be able to take my finished creative box home. It has been assessed but I have not received my mark yet so the scary wait is still continuing 🤞
Goldwork day today. Not much to show for it though as most of day was talking to tutors about the design and how to do certain elements. One of my tutors came up with a fabulous way to do the basketweave in the bottom triangle so I will try and start putting that in tomorrow. Fingers crossed I can make it work.
Those of you who follow my stories will have seen that this project actually came into class with me.
So happy with my purchase from Adam’s Antiques fairs this morning.
