Embroidery Part 2

 Welcome back Janice after your short forced stay at home. Glad you were not too sick. The embroiderers were back with continues enthusiasm for excellence. There was lots of concentration and excellent tuition.

There is always show and tell so bring your work to share, any time we love to see what you have been up to.

Mary has a wonderful store of items to show us. Great to see that we don't always have to make quilts. She admitted to spending a lot of time on You tube and Pinterest and finding great ideas like the 5 4inch squares that turned into a mug rug.

Janice showed us her idea for the storage of threads which are colour coordinated. She displayed her skills in the bag she had made and a photo does not do justice to those teeny tiny stitches that are all lined up. 

Both of these quilts are samplers. It is where I have been honing my free motion quilting skills. I have decided I prefer quilting to piecing and sorry Janice even embroidery. In the pink one each block is quilted differently. In the bottom sample each section is heavily quilted with as many different fillers as I could find. I had spent some time following Angela Walters so "Quilting is my Therapy"
