Needlewoman no 88

I have never been any good with needle nor tread but I still find old magazines like these inspiring. The hours of work involved putting it all together.

Been working hard on a free crochet pattern which I am going to post shortly...famous last words. :S

Spring time reading

I had my first read in the spring sunshine this week. The book I chose was Pat Score's Let's start designing which is another charity shop find. As you can see from the lovely illustrations she gives advice as how to design some funky embroidered works. Sadly I am neither very talented with needle nor thread but I appreciate her illustrations.
