After doing a little tidying in the garden, as it was so pleasant, I got down to tackling some Chapter Five samples.I gave my machine a good clean and lubricated it first.

 2.Top- relates to drawing 15 and is on silk chiffon using variegated machine embroidery thread with a straight stitch.
bottom left- relates to drawing 13. It is on scrim using cable stitch with a silk thread in bobbin.I did not use a hoop which has allowed the fabric to bunch and pull.
bottom right -relates to drawing 12 .Again cable stitch using same thread in the bobbin but using a tight and loose top bobbin tension.This was put into a hoop so did not bunch and pull.

beautiful work as ever Jen. Was showing your stained glass piece at school to Pete Moorehouse, an artist we work with, who had done a primary workshop on the area; the kids had used the same idea of the motorway junction.
