I have finished the Kookaburras!
One of my students Marj has completed her embroidery of
“The Kookaburras.”
This project was started on the Needlework Cruise in 2015.
She has followed the skills that she learned from that class while cruising on the ship, then was able to finish by herself afterwards. Well done Marj! 
The rustic frame completes the piece.
Bailey
Bailey a tricoloured border collie , and a much loved pet was the inspiration for a new blanket by Chris.
Embroidered in 2 ply and 1 ply wool with all the swirls of the fur on the dog taken into consideration in the stitching.
The face sewn in the finer wool highlights the features and shows the character of this cutie pie.
Jasper
From pattern to reality, watch Jasper grow
From tracing the pattern on a transparent fabric to the conclusion of the embroidered image as life-like as the photograph.
Join student Cherril Arthur, under Bev Tully’s guidance, in the demonstration of what can be achieved with thread painting.
It begins here and each week will feature Cherril’s cavalier-poodle cross Jasper.
Cherril traced the pattern on to a transparent material.
She tacked this material to the back of the main fabric. When the tacking was complete, the back looked like this image to the left.
On the front of the embroidery, the tacked outline of the dog looked like this. With further tacking stitches, she continued to bring the details of the image from the back to the front.
In my next post, we will learn how to build the face.

In Southern Victoria, Australia near Bass Strait, the winds blow in from Antarctica; and when the sun shines, it glistens on the sands of the beaches that surround our beautiful peninsula. This is my home. It is also a habitat for much of the Australian flora and fauna that inspires my embroidery.
