Stitching a Postcard with Paula
Yesterday it was our pleasure to have Paula Perrins of Wychbury Designs join us for her workshop on stitched postcards. We had a great day learning her techniques for stitching our own handwriting using variations of basic stitches which Paula demonstrated on a massive hoop! Paula encouraged us to embrace our own handwriting and practise on some spare calico to work out how the stitches could follow our own lines to best effect. Vintage stamps and some embroidery add the finishing touches to the postcards The preprinted postcards were a great template to use but allowed lots of individuality. Everyone had a lovely time and lthe work so far looks brilliant. Here's some of Paula's beautiful work that inspired us, and our postcards that we still need to finish - more to follow! Work in progress:
