Wild Woman

Wild Woman

At my Friday stitching group we have been working on ‘wild woman’ brooches.

My aim was to get as much stuff on it as possible; beads, buttons, yarn and charms.

The base fabric is felt, and we stabilised it with buckram.

Slow Stitching

Progress on my slow stitching project

I am really enjoying this process. Trying out different stitches and techniques. I have never used beads or sequins before. I still have some bugle beads to try. Each new stitch becomes my favourite – although chain stitch, french knots and back stitch are probably my top three stitch choices.

I am mostly using perle cotton (size 8 and 5), and some silk left over from my coaster project.
