Hellebore wall hanging

4/27/2014

I've finally finished my hellebore hanging and it will be getting its first airing during the Craft and Textile Trail in Stroud. www.sitselect.org
I like the way it changes colour with different light.
I have had this design in mind for so long now and am quite relieved to have finally completed it. I love the way these flowers appear like magic at the end of the winter and hope to have captured that feeling in this piece.
I am sharing Cath Kingzett's workshop at One Fat Quarter Sewing Workshop, Tradeplas Building, Stroud Road, Nailsworth, GL6 OBE and we will be there from Saturday 10th May until Sunday 18th May from 11am to 6 pm. We are having a day off on Wednesday 14th May.

Here is a detail of the flowers.

I'm staying at a lovely farm called Bodrugan Barton near Mevagissey with a group of friends. We are all working on our own projects and I have brought down my hellebore wallhanging. I've stitched each individual flower element now and am turning the edges ready to appliqué it on to the velvet background.

I finished making the individual flowers, but there seemed to be too much contrast on the bottom right flower so I spent the day making another one. Last night it looked much better but this morning there seemed to be not much difference. I guess it was the natural light. I'm looking forward to attaching the pieces to the background now.
