My grandson is 2 and a half. He crashes into the kitchen banging the door in his wake and announcing loudly ‘I’m back’! I’m sharing this and his gorgeous smile as that’s a bit like how we feel today.
We have had planning meetings but as we said in our last post ‘real life’ has somehow taken over and our sewing was put on hold…but in the words of Tommy – we’re back!
We have finally managed to create a ‘How to’ leaflet for people who have asked us how to create their own free motion embroidery image from a photograph. This is the result of a lot of trial and error on our part and learning as we went along. We made lots of mistakes but have worked out the easiest way of doing this. We obviously used Tommy as our ‘model’ as you can see here. 
This is available as a digital download as we have also sorted out our Etsy Shop. The link is HERE.
My study is obviously not finished yet – we are working on it but multitasking is beyond us! The wall paper has been bought, the decorator booked, the flooring on order – watch this space!
I took lots of photographs whilst working in Shanghai and have turned some of these into free motion portraits. Such an amazing place.
We’d love to hear your thoughts and if you decide to create any of your own images we’d love to see them.
