Needle and Thread Projects - Completed

Needle and Thread
 I am very undisciplined when it comes to hand embroidery - off cuts of brightly coloured fabrics juxtaposed on a background invites me to 'draw with my needle and thread'.  I do not plan the stitches, the direction or have a theme, I just stitch.  I call this 'random acts of stitching'.  Have a look on my Needle and Thread page and see the colourful things I have made.

I made this 'pacific designed' fabric basket to tone with her themed duvet.
Fabric basket with handmade lace and needlebook.

PictureThis journal was made for another friend for her birthday from recycled blanket. The Maori motifs were taken from a recycled tie.

PictureThis journal cover was made for a friend for her birthday. Her heritage is Norwegian so I found a viking image and also wrote her name in Rune alphabet which is also viking.
