In Embellisher Club we have been learning to blend fibers. Here is the panel I made for a purse and then added beads. Unlimited Textiles exchange this month was on the theme Gothic. Here is the quiltie Alis http://alis-clair.blogspot.com sent me. The background is actually red violet, but no matter what I did in the editing program, I couldn't get it to show. It is sumptious and wonderful.

She also sent these goodies. The thread is a perfect gift, since I am doing so much hand stitching. The ribbon will work into projects. The card is so clever, I will be trying it. It has a tab to fold it up into a pyramid. Thank you Alis.
