Capt. Sterling Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Well done! Foxe I didn't know ye were so talented with a needle and thread...

Fox Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 Much as I would be delighted to claim credit, I didn't even help with the eyelets... Mrs F. reckons they took four months, at an average of four hours a day.

Capt. Sterling Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 She has way too much free time on her hands...seriously though, can she do drawn work as well?

Fox Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 She has way too much free time on her hands...seriously though, can she do drawn work as well? By 'drawn work' do you mean as in with a paper and pencil, or is it some technical embroidery term that is beyond my ken? If you mean with paper and pencil, then yes, the first time I saw that design it was full size, on paper, completely original (though based on some period pieces), and coloured in without even going over the lines. Foxe got himself a good one. In many many ways. But don't tell her I said that or she'll go all coy and slushy.

Silkie McDonough Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Tell Mrs Foxe ...not that she doesn't know this already ...FANTASTIC! I wish I could order a set but ...I suppose I will have to actually make my own if I want some. Just beautiful the pattern, the work, the fit ...BRAVO! The likelihood om me making my own ...well ...it is unlikely right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
