I would like to share this with all you lovers of needlework and fabrics etc.
Just beautiful.

Lovely work, some of it is a little too fussy for me but much of it is beautiful
Beautiful but not much use for my lifestyle! Must take a lot of work to produce.
Trying to enjoy life as it is
I love them! The work and the beauty.
Have to admit, I wasn't thinking of what I would use them for, I was just amazed at the work, the patience, the eye for detail, and of course the beautiful fabrics.
Currently I'm making a fabric art journal. See here for similar.
Val, I like the fabric journal idea a lot more than the previous work. It looks so spontaneous rather than over considered ( I admire the workmanship though).
I have masses of little bits of material from my patch-working days & a whole huge Sylko cabinet full of bits of jewelry findings, sequins, beads,silk thread, braids & motifs, feathers etc,etc,..... so I really should have a go at something.
I hope you show us your journal once it is finished. I would love to see it.

Hattie, I will try - however, I used to upload my pics on to Posterous, but they have changed their format, and for the life of me I can't see how to do it now. I suppose if I concentrate, I will discover how, but I get irritated at not being able to 'just get on with it'!!
Hattie - do you prefer Hattie or Nadine - never quite sure ........... ?
Hi Val,
I don't mind either name. Hattie was the name of a strange hen I had when I first joined a poultry forum in the USA & I have kept the name ever since. Now I feel as if I have grown into the name.
I'm a Gemini so having two identities seems entirely natural.......

Ha ha - a friend asked this morning if we had any of the polystyrene packing 'nuggets' - don't know what they are called, so that's my name for them!!
We got chatting - as you do - and I've come away with some fab snippets of materials, including lace.
Fair made my day, it did!!
