More textile samples

Continuing with the upside-down potato sacks (or whatever they are) - I put various objects inside -

This one didn't get sewn up at the top - so it's just a tube, with big pearl beads inside -

More tubes (they're starting to look a bit human, or is that my imagination?) - this set involved surface stitching - running stitch or back stitch. Interesting how one leads to another - you get partly finished and can't wait to try out the new idea ...

From quite complicated (a lot of twisted thread) to very simple -The cluster of the "more resolved pieces" - a possible title is: Hiding Your Light Under a Bushel -
And here's the rest of the samples.

I'll be missing some of the class on Friday, because of going to the Contemporary Quilt summer school (at Alston Hall in Lancashire), so wanted to get a bit ahead with these. Also, I'm really enjoying using the linen scraps and the black rayon thread.
