A wonderful workshop on Saturday led by Gina Ferrari produced some wonderful machine embroidered braids. Even though it was a hive of activity - we had to be asked not to sew for at 20 minutes for a quiet lunch - it was a relaxed day.

Gina showed us her wonderful machine embroidered braids which she had made into bracelets and bags. It is such a flexible technique that lots of other things could be made, and I'm sure over the next few months we will see the products of the members imaginations. I was a little too enthusiastic and may have over-blinged my piece. I very rarely use sequins.

Yesterday I was so enthused that after the busy day yesterday flying Falcons, Owls and Eagles and then a walk along a short section of the Viking Way to Greetham I still went into my studio to make some more braids.

My braid project is still a UFO but it will be developed over the next few months into something wonderful - I hope as the idea is still in my head and needs planning out. A bit of experimenting with aluminium mesh may be called for.
