Embroidery course.

Hi, Very busy week. I have been teaching my watercolour classes and have had great fun. I am working hard at the moment on the wall hanging for my City & Guilds course. I designed the wall hanging a long while ago but now its time to make it. I only really have time at the start of the year as things become more hectic after June. At the same time I am finalising my design, with the help of my tutor, of the 3D item for the course. I still have a few issues to sort out before the design is ready, so watch this space. The wall hanging has a lot of elements to it as can be seen from the first photo. I have made 90 suffolk puffs for the top section and have just completed the tear drop applique shapes. Today I intend to cut out and the fabric for the manipulated triangles and the large teardrops that have to be quilted. Anybody watching the sewing bee, what a fantastic velvet wrap around dress.
