Very nice.
I agree, nice bullions.
Nice job.
Are the thick orange rims just layers of detached buttonhole stitch? The daisys with spokes have what looks like buttonhole cups around their centers. But I'm having trouble figuring out how you did those thick orange rims. Really interesting. Goo...

Profile Information
- What aspect of textiles are you interested in?
- embroidery, all types, quilting, art quilts, mixed media, paper quiltinq, knitting, crocheting etc etc etc all of it.
- Where did you learn your textle skills?
- Garndmother's knee, some at school well an cookery apron and an underslip two sizes too big for me. I hated textiles at school. Self taught to a large degree then I did two NCFE courses in embroidery in 9 months and was pushed into doing C&G. Finished Part 1 Surface Design/Embroidery and took Part 2. Got through the first year and the course folded due to funding. Started Part 2 at another college and the same thing happended. I never did finish Part2 but the skills and love of experimentation stayed.
- Anything else you want to say to introduce yourself to the group??
- I enjoy walking, reading, mixed media textiles, talking to people, line dancing, talking to people, buying books, socialising. I'm not a gardener but love gardens (anyones but my own). Enjoy going round National Trust and English Heritages sites and I love my family to bits.

Your bullion stitches are gorgeous too!

- Hi Annette,
Your work on these blocks is truly amazing. The embroidery/bead combinations are so fun and such a joyful creation. Where do you get your ideas??? I go gaga for anything purple, so these are right up my alley! Your work is something truly to aspire to!
Can you tell us if these blocks are going into a quilt?
