Just discovered my computer has been sending my genuine emails to an area reserved for spam so that I have had to spend an hour or so sending out apology emails to everyone that might have recently emailed me and not received a reply. So I have been quietly cursing machines....but then realised that of course I couldn't live without them. The sewing machine, computer, radio, washing machine, and dare I say it - television are an important if not essential part of my life. Thank goodness though that they haven't quite yet taken over the world.
As an antidote to all that technology I've been indulging in looking over some pomegranate inspired embroidery work I did at college - its a real blast of a contrast to the monochrome I've been working with recently
I guess pink and orange were really doing it for me then!

this is beautiful!
I particularly like the bottom one in red.
you must know Constance Howard's work an inspiration for embroidery. I have a couple of her books, from the 60s and they are just amazing inspiration.
I do know Constance Howard's work. When I was at college I was always leafing through her designs and they are very inspiring not only for embroidery but also surface pattern design.
