...but it's so much fun. Last Saturday my branch of the Embroiderers' Guild held a workshop with Fay Maxwell on "Crewel and Unusual". This is Fay's take on traditional crewel work, using dyed blanket felt and tapestry wool on silk to make cushions. This is as far as I got, always a slow worker. When all the decorative stitching on the felt has been done, the background is going to be quilted using kantha stitching. The design wasn't preplanned - Fay got us all cutting simple shapes straight from the fabric. As it is all by hand, I am hoping to work on it while I am hanging around at my daughters' gym/dance lessons. Except that I am partway through some knitting...

This looks really nice work Jane - I like the colour scheme. Look forward to seeing it again when it is finished. No pressure there then!!!!
Thanks for your post on my blog! Don't you know rules are there to be broken? I'm sure Sian would agree!!! My distant stitch blog preparation is going well but I'm not ready to "publish" yet as, typically, I've done everything in a different order.
