Another new project for 2017......

Another new project which I am very excited to try this year and which has been on my 'to do' list for a while, is a project from the book 'Applique Art' by Abigail Mill.  I have had this book in my collection for some time and love the look of all the projects in it.

The book uses a technique called 'freehand machine embroidery' which I attended a workshop on towards the beginning of last year and which I really enjoyed. I was pleased with the results of the workshop.



I recently discovered that Abigail is going to be holding a workshop in Norwich, where my youngest daughter is at university and close to where my parents live.  I am very excited to have been able to secure a place on the workshop and, I can't wait to see what exciting new techniques I learn and what I can create while I am there! I also get to visit my family at the same time.... win-win!!

I will let you know how I get on!!

    Liebe Christine,
    das Buch habe ich auch in meinem Fundus, deshalb kann ich deine Begeisterung dafür sehr gut verstehen! Einen Kurs bei Abigail, das ist ein Traum, bei dem ich dir ganz viel Spaß wünsche und mich schon jetzt auf deinen Bericht darüber freue.
    Liebe Grüße

    Another book I need to see if our library can get. It looks like fun, although my FME is woefully inadequate.

    Oooh, I think I will have to see if my library has the book too! I love the flower "drawing" with the bee!
    I've just bought a darning foot for my machine as I was thinking of doing some FMQ, so I might try this too!
    Looking forward to hearing how you got on on your workshop!
    Hugs, Barbara x
