I'm using a lap frame for the first time. It's the kind that scrolls the fabric up and down, and the frame swivels for easy reach. I'm enjoying working on it, both hands can get involved in the…Continue

Hi Nancy
The North Sea Dawn piece is tiny -- either 5" or 6" square.
I think what you're seeing in the top right hand corner are my machine stitches edging the piece. I use a narrow stitch that looks a bit like button hole stitch. It makes a great edge finish, and it's not noticeable at all. Karen Goetzinger, a very successful local fiber artist said in a course that I took from her about 5 years ago that she uses this stitch on all her work.
Thanks for your comment. I was very pleased that the person who bought the piece used to work as a curator for the Museum of Civilization here in Ottawa.
cheers,
Frances

Bernadette said… Thank you for the kind words Nancy. I did not feel so accomplished with this piece. I felt discouraged during the work many times. I also know I need to practice practice practice. It taught me all the things I need to still learn and that was encouraging. I think the take away for me, was direction and placement of the darkest value need to be well thought out. At times I wanted to take a paint brush and just wash a bit more of a value in specific areas. I think this medium demands much more discipline than pencil or paint.
