When I think of this last weekend
and the one before that
. . . . .
there couldn't be a greater difference :
in temperature
and the activities outside !
One was WINTER
the next was SPRING
You can hardly imagine a BIGGER difference in one week !!!
For the Stitch Club this week had a workshop by Jude Kingshott
and she designed for us to make a small book
out of cotton organdie
(which is rather transparent)
with coloured shapes and neat stitching in it.
Well, that organdie was a problem for many of us :
it is not a material that is normally in your stash,
but of course you could use any other materials
but of course you could use any other materials
that you did have at home.
I was thinking and planning

when I had a conversation with another Stitch-member
and then I suddenly remembered the dark purple table runner
that I bought years ago just for the strange fabric : cotton organdie !
Together with some greenish stretchy fabric
and my home dyed silk thread I could make a start.

Some other pages of the final booklet
It was very special to work on such thin material
where you can see trough one page to the next.
