I think I have finished my slow stitch project.
I am just letting it sit for a bit, to see if I want to add anything else.
Yesterday, I went to a course at Calico and Ivy. It was given by Pauline Franklyn. It was stitching flowers, using 4ply sock yarn and lovely fabrics (combining all of my loves).
I really enjoyed the class and now I have lots of plans and ideas. To add to my many projects already on the go, or packed as kits in my stitching box.

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.

This term in my stitching class I am working on a slow stitch project.
I took a photo of some leaves in Kings Park and had it printed onto cotton by Spoonflower.
I have some linen fabric to which I am going to attach things. I have some beads, an organza flower, fabric I tea dyed, colour catchers that I dyed with green tea.
At this stage I am going to stick with straight stitches and beads, but it might evolve.
