Book Page Swap 2012

[Trillian]

I read that some of you like to swap book pages.

We can write some guidelines in regards to size, theme, when and how to do it and how many pages we want to swap.

I would prefer to swap 10x10 inch (25x25 cm) pages. 

What do you think about building a group of 8 to 10. Or do you think a monthly swap where new members can join would be better?

If you are interested, please reply to this discussion and tell your thoughts.

What a beautiful page.....the tree is gorgeous and so is the background cloth. Is the tree

a native to Sth Africa ?

Helen, your gorgeous thorntree arrived. Those French knots are so pretty and I like the handdyed fabric. I cannot stop looking at it, thank you!

[Helen van Zyl]

Hi Annet /theresa,
I'm glad you like it, I am very new ( at my age) to embroidery. I realy enjoyed doing this first ever page
Theresa, yes this particular form of thorn tree only grows in the savanna of the highveld in South Africa. It has an umbrella shape to let the maximum sun thru,
there is about 700 species in the world, and they can be found in Australia, Africa South America and India, all from the family Mimosaceae. If you have time google Jacobus Hendrik Pierneef, a South African painter from Dutch descent who specialised in painting trees Happy stitching Helen

Hello Helen,  Just loved your tree.  The colours, stitching and simplicity of the design are just as I imagine it would be in reality. Beautiful
