These are the most recent pieces of embroidery that have been made by the embroidery group over more than ten years. I only joined this group about four years ago, and am always in awe of the talents of the lady who does the designing, and the preparation for us mere stitchers , puts right our mistakes, and finishes the projects so beautifully!
Beautiful stitching Lesley. Thank you for commenting on my Cockermouth blog. We did see the Percy Gallery and I was drooling through the window but I embarrassed myself by being rather upset outside their shop so we ended up not going in. We shall have to go back :-)
ReplyDeleteYou must go back! There's a nice patchwork shop in Cockermouth, too ; The Silver Beaded Needle.
