Black, grey, silver


Black, grey and silver - not a reference to the weather although it's a pretty good description of life in the Pennines!  The title is the subject of the Christmas competition for Skioton Embroiderers' guild. 

Combining my recent studies of sampling techniques and concertina books, I made a fabric book using black linen and embellished it with circles of stitches. Each page was folded and joined together with a close zig-zag stitch using variegated viscose thread.  The book is closed with a vintage button and satin ribbon.
