Finished Pieces of Work

Another completed jellyfish, this time embroidered by Sandra. She has used cream and yellow for the jellyfish. The stitches have been varied by working sorbello stitch in different thicknesses of thread thus building up texture.

She has embroidered strips of yellow sheer to build up the central part of the tentacles and cream sorbello stitch for the outer tentacles. Bubbles have been added to the background to add interest.

Thank you Sandra.

Alison has finished her lovely, brightly coloured, jellyfish using fly stitch. She has varied the stitch by placing them close together or in groups or on their own.

I particularly like the way the body of the jellyfish has been worked alternately in red and white stitches adding texture to the piece.

The tentacles have been worked in a variety of fly stitches. Thank you Alison, he will brighten up a cold, grey winter's day.

Wendy B has just finished making a beautiful cushion, from a self-made funky foam stamp that she printed with paint onto fabric. She used shades of turquoise and a pale ochre for a contrast. The pattern is hexagonal which has then been highlighted in stitch.

The panel was then cut out and attached to plain turquoise edging and attached to a backing to make a cushion.

 It looks lovely against  the brown of the chair. Thank you Wendy for sharing it with us.

Christina has finished her one stitch embroidery of a delightful cat using fly stitch in a variety of ways. When looking at the cat you cannot help but smile.

If you look closely you can see all the different ways the fly stitch has been worked: close together, wide apart, narrow and long, short and fat etc building up the texture on the cat and flower.

Thank you Christina he is wonderful and when I look at him he would make a lovely picture for a Birthday card.
