Is this going to be a yearly thing!!!!

 So here we are another year down the line...

Last time i wrote i was completing the Raised Stitches section of Unit 5!

There is a few Tasks in Mod 4 first....here i'll show you!


Or Nue Goldwork.  I made 3 Brooches, the image is my favourite.




The Canvaswork Task, still unfinished i thought some extra stitching and/or bead work would let this design shine through....i may have some extra time to go over my work to add finishing touches before i submit a 'video' of 20 best images to complete course.


The Applique Task inspired by Morandi.  The Appliques are raised as well as having Reverse Applique decoration.




My goodness then Module 5....
Task 1-This is English Quilting the design is based on the grasses in my garden. I enjoyed this one as the design was simple!





Task 2-An Experimental Hand Quilt piece....not my favourite. I made 2 pieces see below....I admit i struggled with this unit, do not know why, took way too much time up and should have just let it go!  But hey ho!

The idea was for this piece to be viewed through rather on the surface, if you know what i mean, that was the experimental part as Quilting is all about surface texture isnt it?!




Task 4 & 5 where the Raised Stitches and Needlelace which i posted a year ago!!!

Task 6-Smocking I really enjoyed this Task, i was very tempted to make my Granddaughter a romper/dress.  Well maybe when i submit the last Module!



Well i have to get on with Module 11....oh yes still procrastinating!  I will write again SOON to fill in Modules 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10 

Have you completed this City & Guilds with the School of Stitched Textiles or are you thinking of doing so?  

If you have a question about the work above do comment.

Please leave a comment it would be great to speak with people on the same lines as myself.

Anyways thanks for coming!

Adore Lamor Fabric Dyeing!

      I love fabric dyeing! I was looking at the fabric I have for sale on my ebay shop and the fabric that flew off the shelf and knew I had to replace....woohoo!! Which colours was the question, as I'm walking my dog through the wildflower meadow in my local park!  Ah yes meadow colours! Buff no brainer!   So here we go kitchen and diner transformation...ta da....chemistry lab! No really everything has to get covered by a cover, as the dyes get everywhere!     My complicated and expensive tools (!) Although the metal measuring spoons and the thermometer are essential and a brilliant buy as they make ME more accurate in my measurements!    I use 100% cotton calico PDF ready to dye fabric.  The fabric is steeping in warm water to open the fibres to take the dye.   Keeping an eye on the temperature of the water, it should be around 110 degrees to add to the powder dye.    Yes...

City & Guilds Hand Embroidery at The School of Stitched Textiles

So this is part of the Module 11 to create a Professional Profile! It is interesting to see the images of my work....i think i need to work on the images! Haaaahuuuu a Photo shoot i guess! Do leave a comment, i would be interested to hear your thoughts....working on own does have its drawbacks regarding feedback, however, for someone like me that gets easily distracted it is the preferred method (i would get on others nerves distracting them!) Oh yes my school reports are still true today!

What a life!

Hey you! An amusing thing happened on the way back from the pub...... I am typing here with a sore thumb, so i cannot knit, sew and it is driving me crackers!! Where did this begin...well....My hope of the perfect shop for my business fell into an abyss as the landlord for some reason became elusive after I signed the lease. The letting agency could not understand it either. So there i was sitting on a couple of thousand pounds worth of supplies and no-where to go. My head was kettled . After three months hard work making my own stuff to sell as well as ordering beautiful yarns and equipment. Sourcing fabrics and so on I was mentally exausted when this happened. A short holiday would clear my head ready for the next push to selling my wares before Christmas , I thought. Do me good, I thought. So up to the lower Lake District in England, the bloke at home, the mad English mastiff , the motor home and me off on a jolly. Little did we know it would rain all week......No not jus...
