Suited 2013 - the beginnings

Work in progress!
Where to begin..

a tailor,
buttonhole stitch:
buttonholes,
patterns on delicate tissue,
buttonhole wheels









and the memories of a story..120 buttonholes of cherry twisted silk
A long way to go, many choices to make, but a beginning!

These are the little sketchbooks I am working on at the moment. Top right is the book/folder I made with Corinne Renow-Clarke at Preston Embroidery group. I am filling it with butterfly facts and information to aid my failing memory! Bottom centre is the little book I took to Islay and I am filling with holiday sketches. Top left, the first experiments for Suited ( BB exhibition next May in Stroud) If you want to look at them in detail I will be at the Glos Guild of Craftsmen exhibition in Painswick next Fri 17th August, doing a demonstration day for them.( Open 10 -5) Ex runs until 26th. Liz Harding and I have work in the gallery for sale.
