exhibition Of Islam &Buddism

Good morning everyone.
I've been so busy lately and am trying to make sure I still find time for stitch . We're having really good feedback about it and a lot of people are going to see it.
I did manage manage to do a video of the exhibition which I'll post so that you get an idea of what's there.
We have also had requests to take it elsewhere which is great.
It's called Parallel Pathways II and it's a comparison of Islam and Buddism through the art of textile art.its with my freind Sandy and we are known as Chalk & Cheese.

Gloves

Well hi everyone I just thought I'd share my recent make with you . I haven't made anything using crotchet ( except blankets) for ages. I saw this wool in my friends shop and I just had to have it as I love the colours. I am making a pair of fingerless gloves with this lovely wool. After not crocheting for a while I am finding it very therapeutic .

Tunic

well hello everyone I know it's been a while but it ve been busy making myself clothes.....I struggle sometimes with clothes because of my shape ..I am Apple shaped and sometimes things don't hang right so I decided to make somethings as I found a great new fabric shop just opened nearby.
Here's a sample
I'm also making some longline waterfall cardigans so. I'll post one when I've done it.
This is my own pattern above and really easy to do. I wore it on the afternoon after I'd made it in the morning !

Bird table

I made this recently from an old tea cup ad saucer. I thought it was a quirky idea to use up some old China.
The cup holds water as well ..and the birds love it.
I like to have things that are a bit different !

New website

I am in the process of doing a new web site which also has a blog with it. It's supposed to make life easier but it's costing me and I am struggling to get my head around the tech stuff.
So please be patient with me....

Wavy lines embroidered sample

Just completed this sample for my afternoon workshop next Saturday at Embroiderers guild.
It looks complex but it's not really as it just evolved as I embroidered, I'm liking the colour scheme and this sample is going on a book front to use as a note book.
