Sue created these beads from an old cashmere jersey ,some machine made cords and some sparkly thread.Her inspiration came from a workshop with Bristol Stitchers and a talk given by people who worked with Kaffe Fassett .We thought they reminded us of Tibetan/Chinese type beads.
She had also unearthed this extremely neat and regular stitch sample piece . It had been created when she was awaiting the birth of her son ,and gave her something "mindless" to do when she didn't feel like doing anything else.It has lain in her stash for almost 50 years and has now been turned into a cushion cover and will have a use just like the beads.
