Autumn is a really busy time for me: preparing for a new batch of workshops, a new season of Embroiderers' Guild work and trying to finish projects started over the summer.
I started sampling ideas for a new workshop. I wanted to make an embroidered scarf and found some fine cotton cheesecloth in the wonderful emporium that is Bombay Stores. I hand-dyed the cloth, before cutting bold flower shapes to applique to the main fabric. I soon learned that I needed some light-weight fusible fabric to help control the shapes and make it easier to embellish.
I'm quite pleased with the result but it has meant spending several days in my kitchen toiling over dye baths.
Other work included a day installing the Textilia 3 Dissolving Margins exhibition at Skipton Town Hall. Exhibition closes on October 18th 2018.
