Wednesday 8th June

I began a new Thread Studio course called Gilding the Lily yesterday. I had some time today, so have tried two of the techniques in the first lesson. The top picture is fusable webbing cut into flower shapes, then bonded to black cotton. This was then foiled with metallic foils. The second picture is lace covered with Gossamer Fuse and then foiled. Both pieces are much more interesting than these pics show, but the foils just don't photograph truly. Still, I am having fun....

Saturday 3rd June

I haven't posted for ages. School has been really busy and weekends taken up with preparing the garden for winter. I have been playing with some of the Holey Moley Club ideas, but mainly knitting. I Finally finished Michael's cardigan (it only took 2 years!) and have been making beanies for Bairnsdale's Beanie Festival. Today I finished a coat for Yin. She's happy, but Yang wants one now! Okay, so I have to get knitting again...
