I have made a few brooches derived from the piece in this post.
I have made them for a reason I am unable to divulge just at the moment.
But in the fullness of time all will be revealed.
I also made an extra bit of embroidery to go with the others.
It taught me anew that there is always something more to be learnt from 'sampling'.
Its very subtle but if you look closely at the 'knobby' bits
they are just a bit different a bit more successful than some others you may have seen. The difference is that I went round and round and round over them till I built up quite a raised blob. I was using variegated thread so it was nice to exhaust one shade and surround it with the next from the same thread.
The weather forecast for Marrakesh: Monday..heavy rain.
Of course it is..I'm going.
Update on Thursday: I haven't had a cough or a cold or anything for at least 18 months and guess what? A sore throat and a headache this morning. I think I'll stay in bed till Monday!

I have just hopped over from Dot's blog and discovered your fantastic stitching (that's a lame description). I would happily give up my paper crafts to be able to sew like this LOL
I really like your latest designs and the colours you are using
Very best wishes, Carolyn

what a gorgeous selection! i just love your work!!
You never cease to amaze.
The brooches came out great!!
Have a nice holiday and a lot of sunshine :-)
You've done it again Jackie - absolutely beautiful work.

Take to your bed and get better!!! Long term weather forecasts are always rubbish... don't listen. Love these new brooches - great colours.
These works are so beautiful! Such a lovely texture and colours! I hope you will be well soon! And that you have a wonderful vacation !
Wonderful designs Jackie.
I do hope your better for your trip, as Gina says long range weather is always changing.x
The brooches are gorgeous and I am very curious about what it is that you can't show us yet. Do hope your cold wont be too bad and have a great trip to Marakesh. Take plenty of Vitamin C, that and some foreign sunshine should sort you out.
Lots of hot lemon and honey and staying in bed sounds fine to me! Hope you shake the germs off in time for next week. You can't believe what the weather forecasters say...... Have a great time!
Just absolutely love your creations - they are rich and lucious and divine, would love to own some.
Well darn... I missed the rant and now it's all over! If your throat is sore, definitely go to bed. Sleep. It is a cure all! And I am wishing you a fabulous, adventurous trip!!
These designs are fabulously atomic-retro and over the top wonderful! The last one is my fav! Hope you feel much better before heading off on your trip, and I also hope the forecast changes to sun and fun!
Oh do get well quickly. Have a safe and wonderful journey!
Jackie these are SO gorgeous...I just want them all!! Each one is a little treasure.
You are going to get such a lot of inspiration for your work in Marrakesh - can't wait to see your photos. Whatever the weather you will have a great time, I'm sure.
Look after yourself...
