Lots of bits finished!

At last, various bits and pieces that have been on the go for sometime, have now been finished.

As mentioned before, one of my range of products is "Butterfly SoftSpun", a PP/PET needlefelted geotextile. I've been playing around with this for a while now - painting it, stitching it by both hand and machine, and heat zapping it too.

Wow! Does it do beads well or what!!!





They look "old"...."aged".....with loads of character.

Luckily, I already had a piece of long-cloth to finish...

...and these new beads fitted the bill perfectly :-)




So, another sample is fixed onto a canvas panel, ready for the Festival of Quilts.

Also completed is my Australian-inspired punchneedle piece.




The sample wall will have plenty of eye-candy for those of you coming to Birmingham next week :-)))

I'm still working on a bit of Kuba-cloth....

...and a small sashiko panel...

...hopefully I can show those before I go...


Have a great weekend....
