the silk I used for the tudor couple was silk twill, so it wasn't so bad, infoact the shading on the flower was more like shading with a pencil. the silk with the medieval lady was thinner, but I used copper thread to roughly stitch over the places were it burnt through, and it added a bit more "authenticity" to the look...like it was old and had been mended.
I sort of stretch the silk on a frame.

Hi Sandy, yes I am going to Knit and Stitch on Sunday.

I don't actually know Jai. She was at a Japanese Embroidery class with friends of mine last week - I was not able to attend. When she joined SF I saw on her profile that she listed JE as one of her interests.

Isn't it marvellous to have a site such as this where we can meet others who share our interests.

I like your drawing with a soulder iron on silk. Do you need a light touch. I imagine it would be very easy to burn right through the silk.

Thanks Sandy for being so thoughtful to send information about Dee. I knew her from Omaha and had been reading her blog. She will be missed by many.

Hi Sandy, Dee wrote us all on the Crazy Quilt Lists just before she crossed over. It was so great to see her in Omaha. She really wanted to make it there and she did. A really strong and determined lady! So good to see you here.

Sandy: thanks for the note about Dee; I knew already because she was part of a group that I belong to that go to Omaha and she was able to go this year to that - so fortunate everyone got to see her one last time...... Big loss.
