Absent

I have just had a few days away at summer school...The tutor was a lovely lady, originally from South Africa, and she loves hand-embroidery & beads. Do check out her website (www.varigalore.com)

12 of us attended the class at Stirling University, old friends & new, all members of the Scottish branches of the Embroiderers Guild- I can't believe I have been going since 1991, we started out at the textiles college in Galashiels in the Borders & moved to Stirling 5 years ago.

 




 
So here are some photos of the lovely work that was produced over the 2 1/2 day course...
Some of the pieces got finished, some are almost there...These were all done using a basic "kit" that you could get from the tutor. Mine???? Well of coourse I had to be different, some of you will realise that this is nothing to be surprised about! So instead of making a brooch or pendant, pincushion or scissors keeper I decided to make a cuff! Not finished yet but I do plan to :-D so watch this space...

A little teaser for you

  3. Hi Sally. Glad you a good time in Stirling and it looks like you were very busy. Your embroidery is gorgeous. I grew up in Galashiels and can remember going to the textiles college on school trips. Can't wait to see what your finished piece look like.
