- Thanks, Carol-Anne, it was a more difficult surgery than anticipated but he's making great progress. For Phase IX I'm doing Konbuin-no-fukusa, the Sake Box. Haven't decided whether to do the full design or the smaller one with the ladle. I'll need to finish it by September, starting in January, so I may go with the smaller one just for safety!
By the way, my teacher, Tonie Evans, helped with the design for Conception and she has her piece frame and it's gorgeous!

- I am delighted to join the Japanese embroidery gruop. I am working on Conception at the moment. When I first saw it I thought it looked relatively simple but I have changed my mind. To look its best every stitch ha s to be at exactly the right angle. I have lost count how often I have had ti reverse stitch.

Thanx for invitation to your groop. I am interested in Japanese embroidery. But I usually do cross stitch in Japanese style. I see here is somewhat different what I do. But it looks great! I would like to learn more about that wonderful embroidery.
Mariya.

Sharon said… - I think that is a great gift...typical of japanese design the space between the butterfly are as important as the actual stitches. Amazing how busy, yet calm your works seem. I'm off to do house work and water my very hot garden. thanks Carole- Anne

- Carole-Anne, thanks for the comments which have brought me to your page. Amazing work and good photos. I love the Japanese embroidery. I would love to go to Japan, their art and gardens are so beautiful. i love how it bring the gardens alive in these works. How big is the butterfly panel ? Well it's very Hot here and I need to head out and check some stock and dream of threads while I drive. Would it be ok to add you as a friend. The gum leaves and bits of metals make amazing magic I'm pleasantly surprised by the colours too. cheers Sharon

Frances said… - Thanks Carol-Anne for comments. The gold section on Suehiro is not very good in close up, thought the threads were close together but no. Was advised to leave it and after a lengthy thinking time decided to lace it up. Further practise should help improve things.
VF is finished but 3 petals, the gold proved to be a problem, will finish it when I return home. Karahana is underway, not very confidant over that but 'don't panic' will do better.
The rooster was stitched for my daughter who has chickens. This done some years ago but brought out for reframing, hence the chance to photograph it.
You were missed , hope to see you next time, I shall be in BOH next March with cords.
Very best stitching wishes.

- Hello Carol-Anne,
To gain more time is easy. Don't do any housework for a week!!! Bliss shame about the dust. Only trouble is sometime you have to catch up.
I am hoping to do some more sewing next week. I am trying to tidy my sewing room and gain some more room. Patchwork has to go. Trouble is its all going back in the box. Must be ruthless. I have caught the japanese embroidery bug. It is beautiful and the colour threads to die for.
Love your butterfly.
Hope you enjoyed your Holiday
Jennifer
