Needlefelt Challenge - Spice

As much as I love working with Paint Shop Pro I thought it was time to drag myself away from my laptop and get to work on some fabric. This afternoon I set up the Embellisher and did this piece for the Needlefelt Spice challenge set by Myfanwy. I used a black felt background overlayed with gold Sizoflor, hand dyed silk tops, a sprinkling of Angelina fibres (the standard ones not the Hot Fix) and topped it with snippets of brown chiffon. I have to say the colours look much better in real life.

I had good news yesterday. My Marie Curie piece was accepted for the She Made Her Mark exhibition to be held in the Quilters' Hall of Fame in Indiana. I was taken aback I can tell you. This is my first juried exhibition and I really didn't expect to have my piece chosen.

It's a beautiful day her in Scotland. The sun is shining and we have clear blue skies and it's very mild. I hope it continues.
