All done!

Well...

...thats it all done....

...except for a few final photo shots.

I'm off up to Sheffield to Colourcraft on Friday to tie up final ends before the book goes to the printers.

It should be available next month - at the CHSI STITCHES show at the NEC.

It's been a good journey...

...and I've met a few characters along the way :-)

Made out of some scraps of Dupion Silk  fabric...

 dyed with Dytek Liquid Dyes....

(These are a spin-off from one of the projects in the book.)


Now I have to clear the decks in my workroom...

...ready to begin the next projects.

Doing what I love every day.....

It still feels a bit like the end of Summer outside...

...I'm having to turn off the central heating during the day...

...it's far too warm with it on...

...and my "personal summer moments" aren't helping matters!!

Things are progressing in leaps and bounds...

...the book for Colourcraft is in the very last stages and should be in print next month. :-)

This is the last stitched sample on the machine this morning...

...a piece of Empress Mills Egyptian Cotton dyed with "Dytek Liquid Dyes" ...

...then stencilled with Markal Paintstiks and finally stitched with Empress Mills lovely (non-snapping!!!) metallic threads. 

This is the sign on my workroom door...

...new for 2016...

I DO!!! :-)

...hope you do too...
