    Good luck PP.  It' looks to be a great technique.  I shall discuss it with our leaders when next we meet.  Lots of public hols coming up here so no meeting till May 14th and then it's a whole day of Hardanger.  I'm doing it in a bid to discipline my hand to do regular length stitches and in a straight line.....

    Clever stuff HH.  I might just nick one or two of those ideas.

    I went to an exhibition and fair at Nantes last Thursday.  Took photos of some of the exhibits - http://s211.photobucket.com/user/Obelixx_be/library/1804 Amour du Fil?sort=2&page=1

    Much to admire in the skills and imagination and techniques used.

    That one was amazing Joyce.  Can't imagine how long it took to do all the fine details like patchwork roof tiles and so on.  Amazing.

    Did you spot the patchwork denim home-made coat in the denim section?

    It must take amazing patience to do such fiddly stuff... beautiful results though.  Thanks Obelixx.

    Obelixx, if that was the white coat with the blue denim then "yes" I admired it.

    It was a mix of very pale blue denim with darker bits and the front was different from the back.  Didn't manage to get a front pic tho.
