We are fast approaching the date for our first meeting of 2016 and I am really pleased to be able to tell you that Brigette is going to give us a workshop on Bead embroidery. This will happen on the 20th February during her visit to us to celebrate her birthday ...........
I had to take a quick break to rescue a chicken from our puppies!! I have had my exercise for the day.
In bead embroidery, one stitches the beads onto a foundation fabric to form a design which is sometimes very intricate looking and is always very striking.
