Photos, as promised, two mirror halves that could be split for the fronts, or not, nice and adaptable :cheer:



Ok, ok, so the photos are sideways, still you've got eye candy.... :silly:

So glad you received it and liked it! I had a great deal of fun making it

Also *finally* coming to post the photo of the lovely row I received from you -- 'twas quite fun being in the same month as each other!

A lovely bit of sand next to the water, and some goodies sent over as well! Thanks again, it is all quite delightful!

Got all my rows out for a little play. It is looking very autumnal so far_{wondering what a zing of spring would do?}


Any one else going to show their collection so far?

[genevacarroll]

Very nice Rosemary!

What fun you're having. Is it hard waiting another 8 months or so to put it altogether, or are you an ultra patient sewist? Happy sewing, happy waiting!

Haven't really been doing much on the piecing or quilting side of sewing lately _{it all needs fabric cutting, and I don't feel like it}.

However, I have been concentrating a bit more on another project/line of study, which is 'The Cabinet of Curiosities' - an online university that is studying 17th century embroidered boxes, with the possible view to making your own. At the moment I am designing a modern small piece to keep in my box that will look like a tulip, but is actually a book light for added spot lighting whilst working on embroidery. Today, I made a Japanese style braiding stand out of cardboard and some bobbins to hold the threads on out of buttons and started braiding around the stem part of the light. Never done this before, but I think it is coming along pretty good, although I am wondering whether I really should have made more bobbins to take the no. of threads up to 16, instead of the 12 I have.

The work so far. Don't think I will quite finish it tonight, but I might if I stay up until the wee small hours...

Fun to see your projects!

Looks fiendishly complicated Rosemary, I admire you for trying

[twiglet]

The complicated bit is that I really should have put longer legs on it, so I had to keep finding boxes/books to raise it up with a space in the middle. Rather enjoyed myself and it went quicker than I thought it would.

Look what Barb sent to me. It's perfect. Thank you.

[twiglet]

Yeah glad to hear your Row arrived! It was fun to make.

Barb :-)
