Back at the crafting with the first workshop of 2020, a bookmaking day with Susie Wilson and our ELETA group. Loved making this sketchbook with some Japanese paper brought back from our travels, and had a lot of fun with various flutter books and different bonding stitches. #handmadebooks #longstitch #flutterbooks #chainstitch #making #eleta

New Wall Hangings listed! Finally caught the light this morning to get these embroideries photographed- they were part of a Spring exhibition last year and I have made little hangers for each one now, and backed them more neatly :-) Have a look at the delicious beading on them 😍
