Embroidery course City & Guilds final update.

Hi, Just a very quick blog today. I have just received news that I have passed the City & Guilds level 3 embroidery course. I am so pleased. A few photos of the main assessments.

Embroidery course finished.

Hi, I havent posted for a while because I have been so busy finishing my City & Guilds embroidery course. I posted the CD off this morning. Hopefully it will arrive on time and be OK. Fingers crossed. The final pieces made for the course includes a shell shaped bag, Hardanger, cutwork, pulled fabric and drawn thread work. I really enjoyed sewing these pieces and playing around with silk dyes to create some lovely effects.Have a look at the pieces I have sewn.

Embroidery course contd.

The sun is out and it looks lovely in the garden, perhaps we can have our lunch outside. I have had a lovely Easter weekend. Saturday we dropped our son at Gatwick airport. He was off to Scotland for a geology field trip. We then decided, since we were in the area, to visit Wisley gardens. They looked beautiful in the spring sunshine. The Rhododendrons were absolutely stunning and I took lots of photographs. I hope that some will be good enough to paint from. Last week I finished designing the accessory for the embroidery course. I have designed a handbag based on shells. The next module for the course involves making cords, braids, buttons and tassels so its back to work.
