Project 2- Developing marks into stitching and making textures

WooHoo I'm sewing!

I still want to do some more textures, but seeing as the flue has hit me pretty hard I wanted something to do while sitting on the sofa under a blanket.
So I started practicing some embroidery stitches.
Funny I never thought that I had to practice these, but despite all the hand sewing I do, it's been a long time since I've used the various embroidery stitches.
Gosh...I still feel so much better with needle and thread in my hand then with a pencil and sketchbook!
imageReading through the chapters about stitching, I also realized I needed to order an extra bobbin case holder for my sewing machine. (Actually it's not a necessity but I like to keep one intact and have one to play with.) I only bought this machine 2 months ago and haven't got all the extra bits yet that I had with my previous one. Hadn't thought about the extra bobbin case holder yet!
The good news is that when I went looking for one online, I found out that Pfaff has got a special creative bobbin holder designed to work with heavier thread on the bobbin. Sounds great, my Janome was never very keen on bobbin work. Bad news it's on back order everywhere, so it could take a week or 2 before it gets here. Ah well.... more time to practice hand stitching and drawing texture
