Autumn Trees

Well I must stop making these - they are becoming addictive!!!! My friend Anne gave me a bag of bits the other day and amongst them was a length of hessian and I wondered whether I would be able to use it for this drawn thread work. As you can see it turned out fine - I was really pleased with the colours on this one. Again, this is a variation on the "Enchanted Woods" kit by Tracy Curtis.

Dandelion Clock

I made this free machine embroidered and silk painting a while ago for someone very special. It was done whilst I was on a one day workshop in Charmouth with Tracy Curtis who is a brilliant tutor. She provides everything in the way of silk, paints etc and you just have to take your sewing machine. Definitely recommended!!

Reflections

This is a free machine embroidered and embellished piece of drawn thread work. It's only the second piece I have done like this but really had fun doing it. The background is a piece of painted silk. Again, a variation on the "Enchanted Woods" kit by Tracy Curtis.

Enchanted Woods

This is the first piece of drawn thread work I have attempted using free machine embroidery, an embellisher machine and silk painting behind. There are also beads sewn into the tree tops and french knots embroidered at the base of the trees. This was made up from a kit entitled "Enchanted Woods" which was purchased as a Christmas present for me from Tracy Curtis.
