Blog > Strawberries and baskets, roses and wicker chairs - a beautiful combination
Good morning stitching world! Long time no write.... and there is a good reason for this :)
I am working non-stop on a set of new designs for a beautiful book which I am writing with Marina Zherdeva from Moscow.
I am sure many of you will agree: when this kind of creative energy abounds, most (if not all) of us tend to lose track of time. You agree?
Here is one of my new creations for our new book: Strawberry Blossoms.
What do you think? Do you like the concept? Embroidered onto crushed silk organza, the strawberries are made from silk and organza ribbon....

There are so many gorgeous flowers to choose from, I cannot wait to show you the book next year, as soon as it is published. In the meantime, please excuse me when I am a bit quiet on the blog.... it will be worth it in the end :)
Today I have a lovely design to brighten up this special day - Mandela's 95th birthday - and I am sure you will join me in wishing him a very happy birthday Tata! May God Bless you.
