After much deliberation I have finally sorted out this blog page. It has taken me so long that I have not managed to finish a project for the local Embroiderers Guild. It is due tomorrow so tonight might be a long one. Each member was given the same paisley design and had to embroider it in one or many stitches as they wanted. I am in to metallic threads at present hence the choice of rich burgundy and gold. The introduction of some orange was to add a dash of complementary colour, not sure where else I will put it yet.
The design was marked out with a fading pen on a predyed cotton that had a variegated effect
Close up of tail of paisley design, the fronds are created by buttonhole stitch in two different shades of stranded thread.

Well it is good to also see your sampler in the flesh/fabric. It with all the others will be displayed at Macclesfield Museum after Easter
