Some more paisley blocks . .

. . . which will be on display as part of Celebration of Silk - Competition and Exhibition at the Silk Museum, Park Lane, Macclesfield 7th April 2007 – 12th May 2007 Monday to Saturday 11am – 5pm. Museum Admission Fee Charged.

People keep adding to these embroideries. In May our meeting is another hands-on session where beads and embellishments will be added to any blocks whose makers have not seen enough of them already!

Additions . . .

Carole Biggs' Langley bag finished, with a nice line of stitching edging the pale insert, and a rather fine beaded tassel in rayon threads. And some interesting couching on one of the paisley pieces.
The various paisley design pieces were begun in a hands-on stitching session one month. They are using a design from the silk museum's archives. The idea was, rather than having yet one more unfinished sample, to produce some finished blocks which could be combined to make a hanging for some deserving cause. All the paisley pieces members are willing to submit will be on show in the Celebration of Silk competition and exhibition, not to compete, but just to add interest, being a link with the archive print blocks.
