I have come to a halt on my book cover stitching because I have run out of gold thread and am waiting for some to be delivered.
I think I will do some more of the beading on the turtle while I am waiting for that delivery.
But wait, there is the post man. (What? I couldn't just order one reel of thread!)
I find that I am no longer able to cut lino blocks, the arthritis in my wrist is just a bit too much. I did try but the results ended up in the bin and I still have to clean up the mess. (I think I will need to dump some of the dyes etc I have in my stash. Too old!). So I used a block that I carved a number of years ago and some dyed fabric I had left over from something else. Now I have to stitch it.
There have been three classes on Stitch Club since I joined a month ago. I am just going to have to be behind. The two classes I haven't started are Jelly Print printing on fabric and Applique and Machine Embroidery. I have watched both of them and have all the requirements for the Jelly Printing one. I could use a stash of printed pieces of fabric so I will get to that one first. The second one, Applique and Machine Embroidery will have to be for the future as I just don't have the requirements to hand and I know, from bitter experience, all the pitfalls of free-motion machine embroidery. I need to get mastery of this skill. This is the year!!
