Guild Workshop


A day long workshop with Gina Ferrari of 'Fan my Flame' fame at the Embroiderer's Guild today was most enjoyable. Gina has a lovely relaxed way of leading a class but despite an easy going day, a lot of work was produced. The subject was soluble fabrics and most chose to produce a cuff. I knew the method would work for a book cover so that is what I chose to make.


What a great way to spend a rainy Saturday, among  like minded friends and crafting all day. 

These are a selection of some of the pieces made, lots of ideas were discussed for future projects using this technique and medium. For me it will be a wonderful way to use up some of the yards and yards of cord I made last year.
 I now have a book outstanding to add to the ever growing pile of ufo's

  4. The book cover is inspired. I think you are right to go to these type of day schools with something in mind, much more productive, and I love your choice of colours.

  6. Hi, techy question, how do you get your photos in a grid? Do you use a separate programme and then upload that? They all look really good on your blog
