I still have stitching to add to this.
I am enjoy just stitching without too much thought.
I have never seen such small pins. I would like to source small black safety pins to add on. Is there such a thing?
I am working on ideas for a series of workshops, Surface Decoration.
This is made using the top layer of a red and gold paper napkin, a chiffon scarf, strips of fabric and machine stitching.
I am tutoring a workshop in April," Stitching a Fabric Book."
Starting with a paper pattern to ensure folds are in correct place.
This book has a pocket as part of the construction.
I found a little time this week to make a few backgrounds in my Play Book.
A peek at some of the many Hoops made by Embroiderers` Guild members. These will be on display at Scottish Regional Day.
It has been exciting opening up the parcels after postman has delivered.
I am missing my greenhouse but pleased these Sweet Peas have germinated on the floor of The Studio.
I hope you will look in again next week. I will try to post on Sunday but some weeks just run away from me.

This piece has been selected to be displayed on the EDGE stand at the Knitting and Stitch Show in Edinburgh at the Royal Highland Centre.
Look out for it
I find it very difficult to photo long pieces so some close ups.
It is a memory of a 3 days Field Walking trip with a local archaeology group. The field was carefully measured and each person was allocated an area. The group got quite excited as I kept stopping to add to my container. Laughter when they discovered I was collecting any old pieces of metal, mainly from tractors. The group thought I was having beginners luck and finding artefacts. It is named Field Diaries.
At last a free day. Where do I begin, coastal piece or Verdant Works.
Coastal piece won out. I have been making excuses to not start this stage. Printing, bond a web, working out size of lettering and font etc. Lot of little decisions instead of being able to sit and stitch.
So getting on with it. This fabric was wrapped round seaweed and left in rock pools.
.
First part finished. The themes are sand ripples. coastlines and fences.
Look in next week to view where I am going with this.
