I had a great afternoon at Chertsey Museum today - 8 ladies all having a go at smocking! Luckily I had prepared 8 sections of fabric ready to be gathered and smocked, and they all got stuck in.
Most managed to get two lines stitched, generally top and bottom of the gathered area
some started on a third row
while others just worked from the top
I confess I completed very little, but largely because I didn't have a spare piece stitched ready to be gathered, so I thought that was a jolly good excuse!
I have, however managed some embroidery - machine embroidery on another block for Hilary's texture quilt. This is four squares filled with a programmed fill stitch, so nothing technically impressive, but it feels lovely!
and this block is an embroidery of a Labrador puppy - must be Dixie!!!
