WIP weeks 21 to ...

Because I have been away so much and going away again, decided to work the Tast stitches on the one piece so I am in the process of making a composite. Still have the Buttonhole wheel to add, plus the next couple.

The background fabric is from a transfer dyeing workshop I attended recently.

Comment by Claire Turner on July 4, 2012 at 8:53: Looks very good Shirley. The combination of stitches, and colour choices are interesting. Have you hand painted the background fabric?

Comment by Terry on July 4, 2012 at 7:19: No matter what you do, you always add a different dimension or perspective to your work. I can see this one developing, and I look forward to its' end result. You have your colorway established, and the basic design, all you need now is some time!
