Surface work
OK - In my travels, I am looking for stuff that's surface work and NOT
flowers or traditional - and probably not sublime stitching either. So here's one I forgot about and have probably posted before, but since it's so fun, I thought I would pass it along again: http://www.aflembroidery.com/ I particularly like some of these: http://aflembroidery.secure-mall.com...shop=1&cat=17& Linda |

Oh, thanks for posting this. My now closed (sigh) LNS brought in a few of
these kits, and they looked terrific. I really love the ones with the families--some have a pig, some have a goat, and some have a hippo! Dawne |

I'm curious about what you've written (my primary needlework interest is surface work), but have no idea what you're replying to since you didn't include any of the original post ... |

As it turns out, LewMews' original post to this thread has never shown up in my newsreader (and I don't have any filters on this group). |

This is going to sound like I have been on a bookbuying spree--but another interesting book is Doodle-Stitching by Aimee Ray. The whole book is about opening possibilities. There are good stitch directions that would have been useful when I was starting out, and suggestions about how the stitches can be used. The designs are derivied from hand drawn "doodles", which liberates new stitchers from the idea that you must have a pattern or a transfer. And the projects really open possibilities---embroidering on clothes, shoes, and lampshades, making lapquilts, I-Pod bags and headbands. This would be great for a young stitcher, but is a nice fresh creative jolt for others too. Dawne |

Dawne Thank you for this post , i never saw this name of book or the writer , i make my own surface embroidery. Lately i had a lady who came for advice on this subject , she had an idea , but couldn`t work it out , i gave her several excercizes to be able to make her OWN surface work .. 1 enlarge a photo she took /take a thin math paper , lay photo under math paper hold it on a glass window and trace the lines that interest her . Than she could use this as her pattern for embroidery [ math squares made it easier to decided which stichh yo use on each part. 2 use a Part of a Famousd classical painting ,, choose a part and work only with the COLOURS she can find in that part on a series of ovals / triangles she prepared with sewing thread ,,,,, mirjam |

Here's a link http://www.amazon.com/Doodle-Stitchi.../dp/1600590616 The designs really could begin as doodles, the kind of thing you would draw in the margins of a notebook, really unintimidating for people beginning to think of putting their own ideas on fabric.
