Hi
So here I am again...so much life in between ...
I am having another go at the SST Hand Embroidery course!
I am hopeful to complete this time round.

I haven’t stood still in my Textiles love!
Here’s just some of my recent projects...

My Cloth Doll making.....


Notebook covers.....




A Stumpwork story.....my story of an adventurous lad I used to tell my daughter when she was little!
So above you see Keal and his Grandad who's ill but was the quest adventurer....he has a quest laid unsolved....
This page is nearly complete...just need to add something to the wall behind Keal...but I know not what at the moment...




This will be the front cover of the Story Book (horizontally!)




Another of the stories pages...a forest scene and a hidden gem for Keal to find to help solve the quest.


The Introduction page, also explains the picture with Keal and his Grandfather in bed!



Over to https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/FibreDreamsbyMissD?ref=seller-platform-mcnav to own your own 'Is Ma Hair Alright?' girlie.....OR you could own the Template and very detailed Instructions, words and photographs...
