........ progress on one of the seascapes. Layers of chiffon, a bit of machine stitching, wisps of fibre,a couple more scraps and some more embellishing .................
I find the 12 needle Baby Lock embellisher can be a bit overpowering for finer work so removed most of the needles to embellish down some yarns and fibres. Replacing the needles a couple of days later, 3 of them won't go fully in and protrude up to a quarter of an inch. It's not the needles as we've tried different ones so Baby Lock suggest I return the unit for investigation as the needle holder may be out of alignment inside the unit - don't seem to be having much luck with machinery these days!
Some pretty hair scrunchies for the Christmas shoeboxes ......................
Now just to decide which ones to put in each box.

Yesterday I started embellishing a background for a 3ft high seascape. About half way through I opened the packaging for the box frame to find that it wasn't actually a box frame, the backing sits right behind the glass. Oh well, it looks like two smaller pieces to fit frames that I do have then.
Random scraps picked out by colour, I quite like the guitar ............. "Festival on the Beach" ha ha! Quite lightly embellished, mostly just enough to hold the fabrics in place, I'm going to have a look through the chiffon and tulle for some overlays and then start stitching!
