WIPocalypse 2016 – August


This month's theme is: Have you ever read any fictional books that involve embroidery? If so, give us some recommendations? Can't say that I have.

I'm moving things around. I'm going to start with the stuff I did do, and you can ignore the ones I haven't touched >.<

There has been some steady progress on Fandango. I finished the satin stitch pyramids and satin stitch bars that go all around. I moved onto the next layer in the border, two rows of four sided stitches. I've been stitching both at the same time so I wouldn't have to go around twice and I've finished two sides and am almost done with the third one. It's safe to safe that I will finish this layer before the end of the month and then I can move onto the next step.



I've also started working on two more projects. Hana beaded fob by Merrilyn Whittle from Inspirations issue 91.


And Fleurs de Sakura by Annie Penin.

  1. Not a book but a movie (well, not about embroidery). It's "From Time to Time", with Maggie Smith. One of the characters has to do an embroidery, using hair for threads, with hair(s) from everyone at the party, to solve a theft. They showed the finished framed embroidery, which is a picture of the house (castle) - for a brief moment I thought "I could do that", then I came to my senses. The movie was based on a book.

  2. I've read plenty of books in which people embroider, but none in which the embroidery was a major element. Now going to hunt some out!
