pic 1.(from bottom)I borrowed "Edges and Finishes in Machine Embroidery" V.Campbell-Harding from the library and made a frame from a wire hanger to make these tassels.
I have tried to get this book but it is out of print apart from some very expensive copies on Alibris.Anyone know where I can get a reasonably priced copy?
I am working on a bead sampler but it is coming on slowly.Iwant to try some teeny tassels influenced by Linda Tudor's book on purses.I have a feeling you could go on and on trying things out.
Best Wishes to All Bloggers out there for 2010.Let's hope it's going to be a VERY GOOD YEAR.
