Slowly but surely my latest Collection of Embroidered swatches are getting nearer to completion. These two pieces have new Edge embellishments, soft Suffolk puffs for one and a double hankie edge adorned with beads for the other. 

I have four swatches ''in progress'' at the moment, I want five. There are decisions to be made about headers.....as yet I don't have a clue what to do about those. I am hoping it will come to me in a blinding flash, I'm nothing if not optimistic.

My ''sample. swatch, cloth'' books are going to be invaluable in the future. They will become a collection of stitch and design ideas, prompting and inspiring.
