Temporary Sewing Space

Hello my friends.
This is my 150th post.
Amazing.:)

I moved a dressing table to where I sew.

This is `Temporary`!!!

At least the new carpet is wall to wall

and I love the softness under my feet.

One more room to go and that is complete.

I joined a BOM for 

`The Drawn Thread  Sampler of Stitches`

The Embroiderer  has put this together as 

a `Book of Sampler Stitches`.

First part has mainly DMC`s  to keep the cost down.

Soie Perlee as pattern 

Dentelle 80 ecru and 413 Madeira Metallic replacement threads.

This is how far I have progressed with

packing things up to lay carpet and other projects.:)

I like having lot`s to do :):)

Well best get on.

Happy Stitching,

Clare.
