Stitching at Frolesworth.

I have had a great day out today stitching informally with like minded friends from the Lutterworth Branch of the Embroiderers' Guild. We met in the village hall at Frolesworth which is really close to where I live and sat happily stitching on whatever we felt like.
There was some lovely work going on and the ladies were happy to let me share it with you. For some it was a day for experimentation and for others a chance to work on UFO's.
So here are some photos for you. They are all works in progress of course.

The first two are abstract embellishing samples.

Next some crochet which had grown much more than this by the end of the day.

Now some lovely fabric flowers

The next two are part of a series of free machine embroidered pictures by the same person

Another piece of free maching

Next we have the Rose Hip Flower fairy... a nice peice of stumpwork in progress

This beautifully stitched squirrel is going to be gorgeous. 

The next one, using sweetie papers, is the basis for further work. I look forward to seeing where this one goes too

The last one is mine and has been in the works for a long time... with a house move, illness and cataract surgery interupting progress here! The hand stitching is now complete and I just have to decide how to mount it. I can't decide whether to add a border and make it into a little hanging. or whether I shall mount it on a canvas board.
