Preserving embroidered samples
from contemporary embroidery
These samples have been languishing for quite some time.
Patchwork motifs mounted on painted silk backgrounds.
My intention was to create a little silk book with these, the painted area being the page background.
I have another eight or so patchwork motifs that do not have painted pages though and in all honesty I can't face painting more silk.
So, strips of Liberty fabric forming mounts...that was the brainwave.
They will be smaller than shown here when they are finished as I intend to turn the edges, mitre the corners and neaten them.
