Stitch Heaven

Just returned from the Textile Study Group Summer School and now full of enthusiasm and ideas.  It is a privilege to be able to spend quality time with like-minded people whilst learning new skills and enhancing existing ones.  I made one big mistake and that was to volunteer this year to co-ordinate the tutor's gift from our group ....

It is a Turkish Map Fold structure.  Each student in our group decorated a square of cartridge paper which was then folded and assembled to create the book. Having no wrapping paper to hand a piece of tissue paper was quickly printed with gold and bronze paint and fitted the bill nicely.
