On Saturday I went to a freehand embroidery workshop. It was run by Lara Sparks who makes lovely cushions and lampshades and sells them at the Shoreham Gallery. I learnt lots and enjoyed having a go at techniques I'd never tried before but was held up by lots of problems with my machine. Here are a couple of photo's of the other lady's at work and one of Lara's designs - it's hard to believe that this is all sewn on a machine. On her web site you can see how she adds applique and colours to embellish the pictures. www.larasparks-embroidery.co.uk
I'll add some photo's of my wobbly efforts soon.
