I am a Mother of a 6 yr old, the manager of a childcare centre and an enthusiastic medievalist. I am also a lot of other things and just sometimes I want a place to go to write down my thoughts. I had a good go at blogging a couple of years ago, but then got a job as the Manager of an early childhood centre so just lost any time I had to blog. 2 years have ticked by and I again find myself with the time and inclination to blog - here in lie my thoughts.......

KlosterStitch???


I only have 8 projects and 1 ufo left to do. I have started unpicking all the gold on the Baxton Tapestry because after all the gold work on the flag I can see an easier way to do it. One of the
project I want to do is an entry for the Mid-Winter Coronation. I have tried the technique on 2 of the slips on my Lords favour.

My problem is .... Kloster stitch is used mainly in hangings - I don't have the time or money to do an entire hanging. so do I

a) acknowledge this in my documentation, design a hanging as if I was going to one and sew only a small piece of it and turn it into a pouch. All consistant with the technique and period...
b) Forget the whole thing because I can't complete a period piece.
c) Call for help and Advice!!

I want to do a) as I think it will be better than doing nothing, and I have never entered a competition before and I really want to but I might first do c)...

watch this space as I think I will start a whole new BLOG just for this project!!!
