Hurrah<br />
<br />
I have been having so many problems updating photos to this blog site for the last couple of months - hopefully I have solved the problem........<br />
<br />
The above photo is of my neighbours lovely kittens Holly & Poppy - they come and greet me every day and allow me to stroke them and even tickle their tummies. I love watching them play in the garden especially when our cat Judy goes out and plays with them.I've even got my two ducks back in the garden at the moment - they come and stay for a couple of months each year - it's brilliant watching them. I've put out a cat litter tray(unused) with water in it for them to use as a pond!!! They love splashing about in it.<br />

I am a newish member of this group and Pauline has took me under her wing and has been teaching me tatting and crochet. She gave me a lovely hand made card for my birthday and I said I would have to make her a handmade card for christmas. <br />
Well I did it - my first attempt at making lace and here it is.<br />

We had a good spend and enjoyed looking at all the quilts on exhibition. <br />
Bought some marbling supplies between us, so we will be having a playday with these soon and will post photos of our marblings.<br />
Here are some photos I took of quilts and 3d items in the exhibition.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It was my birthday last Saturday and I had a lovely day at
Preston Lace Makers group.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> I have been a member for about 18 months and really
enjoy going to meetings as I never fail to learn some new skill. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This month I
was shown how to make a Japanese Ring Thimble by a nice lady called Felicity who
heard me say to Pauline another member that I was sorry to have missed the workshop
in June when members where shown how to make them. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Here is my finished thimble – it looks mega larger than it
is as I took a close up of the ring to show the pattern.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As you know I am a member of Natural Progression Textile
Group and our exhibition “Spirit of Place” is to continue at Alston Hall until
30<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> August 2014 </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">There was a write up about our exhibition in the Lancashire
Evening Post last night – I was unable to go to Alston Hall for the photo shoot
– and it looks really good. A full page with a good write up and photos of some
of our members and their pieces of work. Well done to Sue Chisnall-Sumner for getting
us this attention.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I had another enjoyable time this year at the Embroiderer’s
Guild North West summer school which was held as usual at Alston Hall. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The tutor was Elizabeth Cousins-Scott and she started us off
doing small sketches in the garden which we then used as our inspiration for
mono printing and making a printing block for block prints.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Here are some photos of my work – the sketch I used was of
the branches in the trees which was quite abstract looking and I’m not sure if
I like the motif but I enjoyed doing the printing</span></div>

The course tutor was Priscilla Jones who does some lovely work. She makes 3d sculptures using wire and paper/fabric and wax mainly teacups/saucers and spoons. <br />
<br />
I thought I would try making a teacup but me being heavy handed it ended up looking more like a mug - so I added a handle and changed it into a basket and one of the ladies on the course said that because of the colours I had used, it could be an easter basket. So here it is....<br />

I was on my way back from a patchwork group I go to at Parbold and saw some daffodils through an hawthorn hedge and couldn't help but stop to take some photos. <br />
It was on a bad bend along a country lane but I wasn't going to be detered and so camera in hand I perilously balanced on the side of the road peeking through the hedge and listening out for cars and took this photo.<br />

Am going to try to add a picture of some of my past textile work. Here goes......<br />

Wow - I've done it.<br />
<br />
This is a picture of something that I embroidered a while ago that went into an auction for charity.<br />
<br />
I based the design on flowers and it was all hand embroidered and beaded and I really enjoyed making it.<br />

<br />
This is officially my first blog posting, hopefully the first of many. I need to get to grips with the thought of having a blog page. WOW......!! I am on a technical learning curve at the moment and hope to be able to treat you to some pics soon. As John (my other half) would say " one step at a time".<br />
I called my page <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Traceys</span> Threads because I thought the name relates to my interest in embroidery and also to the threads of my thoughts which I hope to share with you from time to time.<br />
At the moment all my thoughts are with my other half who is in hospital recovering after his operation today and I can't wait to visit him tonight to see how he is. If all is well he should be coming home tomorrow. I know that the cats will be please as they both miss him terribly when he's not here. They are both used to him being here all the time and providing them with food or letting them in/out on demand. Oh and not forgetting the stroking etc.<br />
As I am writing this one of them is on the prowl and has just come into the living room to check it for any signs of John. I think I am going to have to go and give her a few strokes to reassure her that he should be home soon.<br />
Bye Bye for now<br />
