Stitchograph

While my younger son was ill, I needed something to persuade him away from only electronic stimulation. Rummaging in a cupboard, I found some of my family's old Spirograph kit and some of my Spirograph compositions, dated 1971.

Spirograph

These have inspired some stitching on to the centres of the long-term Dresden plate project.

Initial testing with washable fine marker pens

Three Dresden plates with hand embroidered centres ( back stitch and French knots) using Rainbows thread, expensive, but worth it.

    I love these, I don't remember having my own as a kid, but I bought them for the girls, including battery operated ones, but not as satisfying as the originals, and I love th idea of embroidering them, I wonder how easy it would be to programme the machine embroidery!
