Treats.

Sue saw this book and treated herself towards adding more skills to her watercolour painting.

She upgraded  her machine late last year to a Bernina 990 plus its software ,which is a state of the art embroidery model .She has been getting to grips with what it can do .Trying its various features like above,inputting a photo to make a birthday card for her Mum.

Above ,a detail of the bag in the photo below which is entirely stitched by machine ,

Some shallow dishes which have poppers so they can be laid flat to store 

Bookmark ,coaster  and key fobs .These are all included but Sue is keen to explore the capabilities in order to personalise what she is able to create.Much playing and experimenting is to follow.

She went back to her own creation with this ‘cut back ‘ appliqué .Each colour reveals one below.

Sally Tyrie’s course took a back seat with the festivities and playing with her machine but she showed us these collages we hadn’t seen. She has lots to keep her busy.
