Of course, whenever I go there....
...it's never a short visit....
...and the plastic card is ALWAYS employed :-o
The only problem is WHAT to buy!
I do try to get things that can be used as inspiration pieces....
...that can be employed as samples to work up....
...or as pictures for publication.
This time I struck GOLD with an Afghan blanket...
...8ft x 6ft...
...and made up of over 100 pieces of hand embroidery that have been applied to a backing and stitched together with couched thread bundles.
Here are just a few fragments...
(high-quality photos to show close detail as well as possible)
What a BEAUTY!! :-)))
