Well October is almost done and once again i have been too busy to keep up this blog. 

As promised to the stitch specialists on groups.io here is a better photo of my blackwork.

Continuation of Museum photos #museum #needlework #beading

Wherever possible, I have tried to select things that will appeal to needleworkers and beaders.

July 2019 #museums #needlework #beading

Well another year has flown by and while i have been busy sewing, stitching and quilting.
This year hubby took the month of July for vacation.  One of our day trips was to the Museum of History in Ottawa.  I have taken numerous photos showing the ingenuity of the beading and painting on skins by our indigenous people.  Other pieces included show embroidery and beading that looks like embroidery.  Enjoy the photos which will be uploaded in a few minutes.

 Details of the runner above.  Below is the covenant chain which is all beaded.

Below are coins and the bag of eyelet lace in which they were transported.
