And what on earth was wrong with me. I kept putting it off and putting it off, and finally today i decided that i just HAD to get it out of its box.
AND LIKE I SAID, I AM IN LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE.
I can't believe how clever the thing is, even though in someways it feels like cheating, but oh how i love the intricate stitches.
Here are 2 samples that i have just done, on black felt.
They do not include all the possible stitches, as there are 69 altogether.
The second example i have cut into ATC size, and will be adding and embellishing it later.
Had some good news last week from the Gallery/shop owner, who says he managed to sell two of my pieces of work, which was a big suprise. I am going into Chesterfield tomorrow to pick up the other pieces of work, and to meet my dear friend Frances, who I met at University. I'm really looking forward to meeting her, and discussing the Artworld, something i havn't done in months.
We will probably be popping into a pub for lunch, and may partake of a lager lol. I promise to stay sober.

Great news Margaret, I nearly posted a question on NI about your exhibition as you had been very quiet about it. But felt that if you had any new you would let us know - and there it is
mmmm, computerised sewing machine, seems a little like cheating - but I can foresee some very original atc's coming up. LOL
Congrats on your sales Margaret! How exciting! I also love the stitches from you new machine!
Warm Regards,

Congrats on the sales, and enjoy your machine but just remember that Jan and I will be thinking of you having that pub lunch!!!!!

Thats very impressive - you could cut them up and use them as borders. Or even scan them....oooh I want one!!!
Nice to meet a local lass by the way; I live in Sandiacre.
