This is the companion video to the one on spot lace. It shows how you can take your weaving further by using surface embroidery techniques. Easy to follow, easy to do but visually stunning!

During the year I was invited to partake in a collaboration – my first collaborative effort in fact!
Something I love about the handmade community is how skills and talents can be pooled to create something really awesome!

From the print studio
Hand dyed homespun with husband’s lino prints. Looks kinda oriental don’t you think? I like this one so much I’m going to make myself a bag with it š
Not sure I like black prints on the blue here, but it was an experiment after all!
I finally finished this UFO. I did the Maisy in wool felt and embroidery over a year ago to go with the quilt and hadn’t gotten around to making it up into a cushion.
With my needle and thread treasury
I made an Etsy treasury of embroidery art, including some wonderful Australian artists.
You can take a closer look here.

All of these beautiful things were sent to me by Baukje as I was lucky enough to win her blog giveaway recently. There are some truly beautiful and very useful treasures in that parcel, thank you so much Baukje!
And another timely arrival on a day where I’ve largely been shut inside – my favourite embroidery magazine š
I spent some time warming my fingers by rolling a hank of Nell’s lovely wool into a ball in preparation for a little something.
I hope you find a happy craft to warm your fingers and your heart today. Until next time!
