UK Casket Tour, Day 5 - York Workshop

It was Sunday and so few museums are open, we decided to have a half day workshop, a lecture by
Mary Brooks and then make sure people visited the Treasurer's House (a National Trust property) to see two pieces of needlework and a beaded basket.   Many had a great time touring all the wonders of York - it is truly a beautiful town.

Our workshop in a period Guild Hall in York
The workshop was held in an ancient Guild Hall!!  I thought that was a nice touch, embroidering in a period interior.

So what was the project?  Well, it was a small bird that was my modern interpretation of a few 17th century sewing birds we had seen on the trip.  The interpretation was a peacock in lacet braids, filled with wools that allow it to be a pincushion.

Hope a few of you might like the Peacock, because it will be a new Online Course after the New Year!

    Oh, that peacock is wonderful. I see lots of techniques my eyes won't handle anymore, but I can still couch down purl... I might have to take the course to see how the tools fit in...
