<span style="font-size: large;">The photos above show the front and back of a piece I have yet to name. (Anyone got any ideas?) The back is an old napkin and the initials do not mean anything to me but they looked so beautiful I had to leave them in place. The front is a runner with pieces of tea dyed silk Kantha stitched in place. It has wadding sandwiched in-between which created the texture in the centre.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Then we went for a couple of days in the Lake District for my birthday. I was a bit worried that the weather would be against us but I needn't have worried, it was fine and still despite being cold. We had a walk around Derwent Water and here are some of the pictures I took which show the damage the high water levels and storms have done.</span></div>

Tonight I decided to do something with it. I was perusing ATTIC24's blog and saw a granny square whole colour throw she had made and I wondered if it could be adapted.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHNCNiY6gCV-fbKdnINyCvoybZovCdWJEzInuIdaAOiGUyf5jNXvHQ8cxKa3Nha-xlIYzFOTSxNUWutOQpYqbm1c0Wa2NmGNW-lLZOLFamfv8G261i0sqJkazaN1_R2kZiuGrmGw/s1600/Wool1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHNCNiY6gCV-fbKdnINyCvoybZovCdWJEzInuIdaAOiGUyf5jNXvHQ8cxKa3Nha-xlIYzFOTSxNUWutOQpYqbm1c0Wa2NmGNW-lLZOLFamfv8G261i0sqJkazaN1_R2kZiuGrmGw/s320/Wool1.jpg" width="285" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Her squares are about 7cm squares with a 4mm hook and double knitting. I have used a 2mm hook and each square is about 1.5cm, I put the £2 coin there so you can image the size of the little squares. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFTiwE50yK4kA27fha2sQGA9jTTIAfbFOlruzUpIGcR8KMfqetlCmyiCVCXZ9kKDjy-vjcDuv_wpSJTU6iHSDRwg8fPr1sNJoS5iAvLy1FuOOwO5Il9wud03S-X7uKxu3380CQCw/s1600/Wool2%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="305" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFTiwE50yK4kA27fha2sQGA9jTTIAfbFOlruzUpIGcR8KMfqetlCmyiCVCXZ9kKDjy-vjcDuv_wpSJTU6iHSDRwg8fPr1sNJoS5iAvLy1FuOOwO5Il9wud03S-X7uKxu3380CQCw/s320/Wool2%2529.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you can see a slight change of colour then your eyes are not deceiving you, it is because of the wool, so it could make something nice. I will have to wait and see how many squares I can get out of the ball as it is the on</span><span style="font-size: large;">ly one I have.</span></div>

My photo today is of the puddles in the garden which are slightly better than yesterday. I know it is not the worst we have had, nor as bad as other parts of the country but this is day three of being stuck inside and I am fed up so put my feet outside to get this photograph. One year the water came up to the bottom of our back door step, that was quite frightening so I feel for those people who have had their houses flooded out.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">While not exactly GLASS the puddles reflect a bit like a rather bad looking glass, you can just see the reflection of our tree trunks and the hawthorn on the right.</span><br />

This morning I woke up feeling terrible. After vegging for most of the day I decided that I really needed to start a new piece of work. I received 6 antimacassar cloths in the post yesterday. Thanks to ebay for these gems. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Today I tea dyed one of them as I knew what I wanted to do with it. There are several rust and tea dyed pieces of fabric on my bannister and some will be used along with Kantha stitching to create this. It will be the third piece like this that I have done.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are a few before and after pictures. I don't know what happened to one of the photos, it looks a bit strange. I love the marks that tea dying gives you.</span><br />

The Festive Season was great. DH and I went to the Lake District and stayed in a lovely hotel, we were well looked after. Lots of food and I didn't have to do a thing apart from turn up. There were puzzles and quizes, music and a magician.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">When we arrived at Bowness the lake was flooding the walkways near the ferry landings. The birds were having a good time, they knew when they were on to a good thing</span><br />

August I was quite busy with trips to Wallington in Northumberland to demonstrate in the TWYNE exhibition 'Spirit of Wallington.' This will end on 2nd November so there is still time to catch it. Visit the <a href="http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/wallington/things-to-see-and-do/events/" target="_blank">Wallington National Trust</a> site - events and get more details. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Then I went to visit two friends' exhibition in Bellingham <a href="http://www.bellingham-heritage.org.uk/pages/posts/personal-journeys-10.php" target="_blank">'Personal Journeys'</a> well done Helen and Gillian it looked great.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This was followed by a weekend with Area 15E Quilters' Guild and a workshop with <a href="http://www.nancyprince.com/" target="_blank">Nancy Price</a>. My beautiful butterfly so far.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I have since made another small butterfly to go on top of the small white one on the left. I still have to stitch the three pieces together after making the edges of the quilt.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This last weekend I was in London to visit DD and her partner. They gave me some lovely news, they are getting married in the Spring so I have lots to think about. We had a lovely long weekend, a meal with my son on the South Bank. Went to the threads show at Farnham and met some of my lovely online friends from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/becreativenow/" target="_blank">Be Creative</a>. Another exhibition by <a href="http://www.alicefox.co.uk/" target="_blank">Alice Fox</a> which has now finished, Alice makes beautiful rust dyed fabrics and I was lucky enough to attend one of her workshops. here is a piece of rust dyes silk noil I dyed after the course and I am now starting to stitch into.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">So now it is 1st October and a start of a new month and a new set of prompts in Be Creative. if you want to join us please use the above Be Creative link. There is no obligation to do all the prompts and you can interpret them in whatever medium you wish. We have writers, poets, artists, embroiderers, dyers and other mediums at our fingertips and it is great to see how others use the prompts to kick start their creativity.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

It was a beautiful day. I did take photos but I don't seem to be able to find them at the moment. So I will tell you about the reason for the visit. I was there help put up an exhibition in the Cathedral entitled Lindisfarne: Faith, Inspiration and Stitch.<br />
<br />
Here is one of my pieces entitled Celtic Knot. Free machine embroidery on metal shim. Yes I did put a piece of metal through my machine and remembered to change my needle afterwards. When the sewing machine was sent to be serviced. There was a comment that there was a bit of rust present in the workings. Mayhaps from the small bits of metal that were punched while stitching. I will remember to clean my machine next time I stitch into metal.<br />

I started this post a while ago and it was just waiting for photographs. For those of you on Face Book you will know that I am part of a team of 5 ladies running a Textile Social History Project here in the North East of England. In 2011 I managed to get a small grant from AgeUK and with the help of the Embroiderers' Guild we had two meetings in public libraries, we payed for the hire of small meeting rooms and also some publicity for the upcoming exhibition that we put on in 2012.</span><br />

A 1971 wedding dress also worn as Matron of Honour to the lady who made it<span style="font-size: large;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">This was a great success, we took lots of photographs, talked to lots of people, both in their homes and also in clubs and meetings that we attended.</span><br />

Anyone remember wearing these dresses?<br />
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">It was amazing what people had kept. Wedding dresses and christening gowns were common, embroidered and crocheted cloths were also easily loaned out to us for display purposes. However there were also some more unusual items such as a beautiful lace collar that was stitched to a plain jumper and unpicked every time it needed washing. Photographs of a millenium embroidery. A Pippa Dee nightdress and a dress from the 70's made of Crimplene. So many people remembered the wonder fabrics like nylon shirts and Crimplene that could be washed, hung up and worn again without ironing. In the NE Brentford Nylons sold bedsheets that gave off static electricity and in the summer were very uncomfortable on the skin.</span><br />

A lace collar that would be sewn onto a plain jumper and removed for every wash<br />
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">So earlier this year when a friend, who was part of a group of WI ladies setting up a Vintage Fair in Rothbury, asked me if I could get involved it was easy to say yes we could put part of the exhibition together again. This we did and lots of new people lent us their textile items including scraps of three laying out cloths, a child's Maltese lace bolero and a Polish embroidered waistcoat. All these items had a sentimental story attached to them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So in August 2014 a collection was made, models borrowed and a beautiful exhibition set up both in Rothbury and then back in the new Whitley Bay Library the week following.</span><br />

These are happening to me a lot recently. First the blood on my work. It did improve my work. It was while I was perusing a friend's blog I was reminded of my love of scraps. I started listing the scraps I have.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1) there's the TUSAL jar, all the threads and tiny fabrics that most people throw in the bin. Totally Useless. NO not to me as I create fabrics with them, either with dissolvable fabric and sheers. Or they are embellished into felt or other fabrics.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My TUSAL jar</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhngzNF2NG53zQRxYw9XEdp2DOCG8hRYcp7Z2Gu-92y0tOEp8NjRne-coChcMVKIRuVyJiLfiHakzyEChJtQ4P-W8jDW1fcyiDnVq622Mxj33aMdKn8oScqedoQeWX8eK4QoKW3KQ/s1600/IMG_0178.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="font-size: x-large; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhngzNF2NG53zQRxYw9XEdp2DOCG8hRYcp7Z2Gu-92y0tOEp8NjRne-coChcMVKIRuVyJiLfiHakzyEChJtQ4P-W8jDW1fcyiDnVq622Mxj33aMdKn8oScqedoQeWX8eK4QoKW3KQ/s1600/IMG_0178.JPG" height="239" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2) there are the papers I have painted and played with over the years, especially tissue. They are used in ATCs and postcards. Any tiny scraps are kept for completing pieces.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">3) there are the pile of dyed and painted fabrics used for many projects. Any left overs are kept, divided into strips and smaller scraps. This is a small piece, no completed yet.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); color: black; font-size: large; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KDM_7BCS9jo/U1Su-c6y70I/AAAAAAAACqE/_opjH0-ivDQ/s1600/image.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KDM_7BCS9jo/U1Su-c6y70I/AAAAAAAACqE/_opjH0-ivDQ/s1600/image.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></span><br />
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">4) there are the things that didn't quite work or were experimented on - my mop up cloths for example. Recently quite a few of these have come into their own.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Some of you know that I am working towards an exhibition in the summer. My topic is Clocks, one piece is completed bar it's label and I have ideas for them. (see later on in this post.) So number two was started a few weekends ago on my course with Yvonne Brown. </span><span style="font-size: large;">The piece I produced still isn't quite finished but the old kitchen clock fabric I created with TUSAL scraps quite a few years ago was cut up to create one of the backings for my tiles. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I then found the photograph I had taken of the clock tower at Wallington Hall, Northumberland. DH, bless him, played with the image and printed out several clocks, all the same but different sizes.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I set to work choosing, at random - almost - fabrics that would melt and would cut with a soldering iron. Those of you who have seen Margaret Beal at some of the shows will have seen some of the intricate work she does. Yvonne works in a similar way with Kunin felt. Google the word and find out what it is. </span><span style="font-size: large;">A lot of traders don't know what it is. Three clocks were made and I sat and looked at them for a while on the lovely orangey brown fabric that I had painted and printed on with my Colouricious blocks and had been going to be the grouting for my tiles. It was too small for that project so put aside, but not forgotten.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Two nights ago I was sitting looking at the work so far. In my bag I just happened to have some blue painted Bondaweb that was for another job and never used. The pieces had been folded and looked a bit disheveled so I tore them into smaller pieces and placed them on top of the orange fabric and under the clocks. Voila, simple but looking good. Even DH said yes that's looking good! Maybe he's more interested because he's been involved from the start! The end of clock 2 is in sight. Just one more piece and I know what I want to do for that.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">This is the WIP.<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dTKd2M5jmGY/U1Sv9uxSsJI/AAAAAAAACqg/wLtImkEJ-nA/s1600/image.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dTKd2M5jmGY/U1Sv9uxSsJI/AAAAAAAACqg/wLtImkEJ-nA/s1600/image.jpg" height="285" width="320" /></a></span><br />

As a result some of us made some ATCs (Artist Trading Cards). Some we swapped with others within the group and at least one in the series was 'lost' somewhere in the artists local area. The small pieces of art have a blog reference number and a <a href="http://createaday2014.wordpress.com/found-art/found-art-march-2014/" target="_blank">website address </a>. If you click on <a href="http://createaday2014.wordpress.com/found-art/found-art-march-2014/" target="_blank">my link</a> you can have a look at these ATCs and see if there is one near you. If you find one please leave a comment and perhaps a photograph. We would love to hear what has happened to these pieces. If you want to see mine you will have to visit the website. Remember to come back here to see what else we have been up to.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We would also love to have you join us for our next events. This does mean you need a Facebook account which some people dislike. It is the only way we could see of having a 'safe' group site as all members are vetted and come usually by recommendations from others within the group. You do not need to have posts seen by the general public and can restrict them to friends only.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Beware however :) there is a lot of chatter depending on which activities you choose to join. I know there are one or two of my friends who follow this blog. So please take a look at my ATCs and see if you can 'find' them and give them good homes. Hint:- one of my favourite local wool shops is involved. Try one in Newcastle upon Tyne.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Below is just one image I found during the weekend event. It is an enlarged microscope image of a piece of expanded popcorn. Would you believe it? Honey bees create similar structures within a honeycomb. I can see me using this image in a future piece of work.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope the sun is out where you are. This morning here on the North East coast has dawned with a lovely clear sky, which probably means it's very cold outside.</span>SheilasEmbroideryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18414413981115940842noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12317093.post-72125474895092861162014-03-23T23:58:00.001+00:002014-03-24T00:04:56.252+00:00It is nearly April<span style="font-size: large;">Well March is nearly over and I don't really know where it has gone. I have been busy. Health-wise not so good, I won't dwell but it has involved lots of doctor and hospital appointments.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So what have you done in March? I hear you ask. Well I attended Region 15E Quilters' Guild Regional Day followed by a course with Yvonne Brown, an inspirational teacher and prolific quilter. Below you can see my tidy desk </span><span style="font-size: large;">on the </span><span style="font-size: large;">course, well it's tidy for me! Then the photo of the workers at the end of the afternoon. I'm the one with very little done and gingerly holding all my little experimental scraps together when all the rest had a quilt block finished. Photo three shows the blocks I made 1/3 completed the next day. It has progressed on since then but I don't have a photo to show you, yet!</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">I went to London to visit my daughter for my birthday she took me to see War Horse. That was a fantastic show, If you haven't seen the stage production do it's amazing. Those who know me will say but your birthday is in February, why a birthday treat in March?Well to tell the truth DD said when do </span><span style="font-size: large;">you want to come down? </span><span style="font-size: large;">and I said March because there is a stitching show at Olympia and I </span><span style="font-size: large;">had never been before.

<span style="font-size: large;">I have done other things as well this month because I am working towards an exhibition at Wallington Hall in Northumberland in the summer with the textile group TWYNE. I'll tell you more about that in a later post when the advertising poster is completed. I have finished one item and am planning two more so will have to pull my finger out and get going.</span></div>

Whow was it good! In the morning there was a talk from Dorothy Osler entitled "Insight into Durham's Traditional Quilting Communities from the Diaries of a London Lady" amazing how these entrepreneurial ladies in the 30's - 50's made Northern Quilting as well known as it is now. In the afternoon, after a raffle, show and tell (when I showed my Mandy Patullo Sweetheart Pincushion) and Linus Quilts we heard about the Life of a very inspirational lady Yvonne Brown.<br />
<br />
I was interested in Yvonne's story, not just because of her interesting life and inspiration quilts but also because of her married surname - Brown. Before I was married I was Sheila Brown. No relation whatsoever! There are lots of Browns in the UK.<br />
<br />
When I became aware that there was a place going spare on Yvonne's workshop yesterday (Sunday) I just had to sign up. However I quickly realised that both my sewing machines were in Tully's in Sunderland and I wouldn't get them back until Monday I was bitterly disappointed. However Anne our lovely treasurer came to the rescue and lent me her Bernina, just like mine so there was no trouble doing free machining on it.<br />
<br />
On arrival at 9.30 in the morning Anne was already there and had set up the machine for me. I then turned round and saw an old friend from the Embroiderers' Guild, Norma, turned round again and saw Melitta who I've known for quite a few years and another friend Kate who was in my C&G class and is now on the EG regional committee with me. Call it a small world! The stitching community of Embroiderers and Quilters are so generous and I have made friends through my various craft activities because of it.<br />
<br />
Thank you QGGB Region 15E for being so welcoming.<br />
<br />
Sorry Blogger is not letting me post the photos I wanted to share. So you will have to make do with my report.<br />

Thanks for reading<br />
