The aim of this blog is to enable me to share my love of textiles and threads with like minded people. I have always sewn either by hand or machine. I even taught it in the 1970s for a while. I now create my own substrates on which to stitch. Natural methods of dyeing and botanical printing allow me to combine many aspects of my life that bring me joy. Gardens, art and stitch.

January TIF challenge finished
This is my finished piece for the TIF (Take it Further Challenge). It is based on the microscopic image of a gall bladder which is a tribute to my missing organ!!!!! I am feeling so much better healthwise. It is postcard size and worked on felt, the couching around the cream shape is done over machine whipped cords. To see all the finished pieces go to the TIF flickr site .

Hi, Beautiful. Love all the details. Glad you are feeling better. Enjoy your blog.
I bet the original wasn't as pretty as this! Glad you are feeling so much better. Nice work.
Glad to know you are feeling better - bet this little bit of art therapy was just what the doctor ordered! Great details and composition.
I really do like this piece, and the whole way you have applied the concept to it. The big cream shape with the seed stitches, and those glorious grey intestines ( ? LOL) - they look terrific, and then to know what they represent really makes me admire your creativity.

Who knew a gallbladder could be so beautiful?
If I had known my gall bladder looked as beautiful as this I may have kept it-(not really).
Seriously Margaret this is a wonderful piece and well thought out.
Absolutely beautiful Margaret. Love the fact that we can work our lives into our work. Who'da thunk it that the gall bladder can look so good!
