Some more from the exhibition, and a new enterprise!

Well, Typepad seems to be back to normal, thank goodness, so perhaps I can now get back to posting as usual. I haven’t yet shown much of what I exhibited at the NEOS show this year, so here are a couple of black birds in the midst of colourful foliage and flowers

But aside from the exhibition, I’ve recently been working hard to put up some designs on the Secrets of Embroidery website. Have a look: https://secretsof.com/machine-embroidery/designs/The-Accidental-Embroiderer. I’ve enjoyed working with “collections” again – that is, groups of designs devoted to a single subject, and I hope to put up more collections in the near future. And the Secrets of Embroidery people have been really helpful and encouraging. But this blog is still of first importance to me. My first interests have always been thinking about and talking about designs, and trying to see how far this kind of embroidery can go. So I will definitely still be writing to the blog and will carry on offering free designs just as usual

Hi Mia, Your birds are just spectacular and so colorful! The collections that you have on Secrets Of are fabulous! You have presented a nice variety of sets to sell, and I know that you will be able to establish your designs and artistry on this site.

I envy the blackbird in the flower garden, it is so very pretty. HIs pose tells me he is strong and proud and happy to have such a nice environment.
