Zines Again!

Remember months ago I told you here and here about some zines that the QB5 group is working on?

 (We hope to be finished with these before Christmas

as we have another swap that I think is due around then!!!)

I finally came up with what I wanted to do in Patty's zine!

Her zine is entitled Medieval Thymes....

I was SO inspired and SO excited!

I did my pages on medieval embroidery!

I made a little booklet

with info about medieval

embroidery!

You can't believe how much there is online on that subject!

And I drew off a little pattern (top photo)...

and embroidered a medieval flower...

using some gold thread like in medieval times...

I wanted to stitch as if I were poor.... but

all the samples of such did not last due to the

quality of materials and so only the pieces

done for the wealthy with superior fabrics and thread survived.

I love embroidery...

and what a history it has!
