In my class at the Folk School, Dee Dee brought several examples of embroidery. This antique shows turkey work on wool felt. There is also some satin stitch but the fluffy blossoms certainly do catch the eye.

This one looks like it might have been worked in variegated thread.

Guess where I am today? I am at the John C. Campbell Folk School in North Carolina. I will be studying Innovative Embroidery with Dee Dee Triplett. Her link will take you to one of her pages on the Southern Highland Craft Guild pages and from there you can click to see other pages of her soft sculptural work. 

I will be bringing my camera and computer and I hope to get permission from classmates to photograph their work to put here. 

I will try to write blog entries each day I am gone, but you will have to wait until the week after to see everything I have done.
