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!

Creation of a dream

I should have started this two years ago! That`s when the dream of Fibre Dreams began to take shape! So after this long journey i am ready to start on the road trip of a lifetime. I shall boldly go onto the Internet with my handmade products. I have a transporter full of the extra materials and equipment i think other fibre craft people would like to have as well... I`ve got the stuff now i need to learn how to set up a website...or set up shop on big shop site (you know the bay thingeo!). I will even learn how to post photo`s of my products. Fibre Dreams.....First frustration was not understanding why the telephone number is not recognised when i tried to .com my blog site? And why you have to have a fax if you are setting up as a business?? And where do i go to get these answers.... But a successful day on the knitted blooms broaches!! So at this point in time if you have experience setting up fibre craft websites i would be grateful for any positive comments! If you have any in...

A little this and that tactics going on!!

So little time to keep up! Isn't this a beautiful brooch...straight copying from a Royal School of Needlework book on Stump work by Kate Sinton...this adorns my winter coat and I'm constantly receiving compliments. One of the reasons I am trying to teach myself Stump work is using the technique for a book I have had in my mind for years...years! So far I have several sketches of scenes within the story....I have made a start on the cover... Its finished but not complete as I have to wait for the measurements from the completed pages...I love it from its layered fabrics to the printing ink colour and the hundreds of hand stitching...and Shisha mirrors! I have my Introduction page finished too. Here's a detail image of the capital letter... So next came a Forest scene...this was my first choice to do as I 'thought' (!) it would be an easy one to start as I knew the techniques I wanted to use...here's the sketch for the page....
