Japan........in the Yorkshire Dales! Part 1
I had a wonderful weekend with the ladies of the NE Region of the Embroiderer's Guild...
...at one of their stitching gatherings in Harmby.
Two whole days of Japan-inspired stitching and stencilling...
...combined with great company......and cake!! :-)
Be warned!
Lots of piccies.....
I was so pleased at the progress made on day one alone....
...beautiful Sashiko stitching.... and....
....thank goodness Markal Paintstiks last so long :-)
More to follow....

Summer School sampling....continued....
The Semamori pages that I showed you yesterday...
...were dry this morning...
....so I've cut some origami papers to fit in the stitched spaces on the backs of the pages.
(Doesn't it feel good to actually use one of those purchases...made sooooo long ago....that you simply KNEW would be useful for something....someday!!)
If you have any such purchases...bring them along and put them to some good and beautiful purpose :-)
The other thing going on...
...has been the messing-about-with pieces of card....for slightly larger book "pages".
These are roughly 8" x 8" and have been covered with gesso....before being coloured with Distress Oxide stamp pads.
Some have had stencils used with another thick coat of gesso before colouring.....
...and these panels have been made to fit the same sized pages...
Stitching is about finished on this one....but those below will have to wait a while...
...although all the machine work is complete (and that may be enough).
Ideas still pouring out.....

Summer School Sashiko
We've been away for a wee while...
...but I've been stitching....
...and playing around...
...with a few more sample pieces that will (hopefully) inspire the lovely ladies who are booked onto my Summer Schools in Harmby and Bishop Burton:-)
Along with many more stitched samples...
...I've been playing with some SEMAMORI on paper...
...using a very old Japanese book that I got on ETSY some time ago.
Pages are made with my "leather paper" and stitch beautifully on the machine.
Some stitching has been done on fabric as well.....
....and I'll be bringing all the stencils to let everyone have a play too!
