Cosmati Pavement

As you will see from one of my earlier blogs - I tried to rename the Cosmati Pavement in Westminster Abbey, where Cosato Pavement came from, I have no idea.  This is an image of the pavement.


I have now started work on my final college piece [yippee].  I have appliqued the spiral/circular design onto the base fabric, I did this using bondaweb.  I have stitched around the edges using some of the embroidery stitches on my machine.  I really struggled with the yellow thread, I am not sure if it was the thread [it was Guttermann Rayon thread], so I changed the needle, re-wound the spool, cleaned underneath the bobbin case, threw it across the room [the sewing not the machine - although I was tempted], and yes, I know, 'a bad workman blames their tools' but ...

This is it so far, will do some more on it tomorrow.

  1. It's looking amazing Rachel! The embroidery really does add another dimension. Can't wait to see it next week.
