getting ready for Harrogate

foot stool and chair

Detail of the foot stool. Dyed william morris fabric, appliqued and free style machine embroidered.

I have been enjoying myself and getting creative on a foot stool and chair that will adorn my stand no. 311a at harrogate craft Trade fair in two weeks help not ready yet.

Landscape commission

I have been slightly out of my comfort zone and made a landscape with a cottage and no birds, quite enjoyed it and very happy with the end result. The customer supplied most of the fabrics which were left over's from soft furnishings in their lounge.
