Good morning all
I have managed a few hours in my sewing room this week- yay!
Firstly, I made a background piece with an overlayer of sparkly net.
Then I created a little clematis collage
I used machine embroidery to add detail on the collage.
I did it six times over and then made each piece into a little pocket that I slipped over a little notebook.
On Sunday, we visited one of our local National Trust properties - Powis Castle.....
It really is a great place to walk round on a sunny Sunday afternoon. The big lawn had lots of games for the children to enjoy. The views across the Welsh/Shropshire border were lovely.
So that's it for this week.

What a beautiful picture you made, and the notebooks look fabulous! Powis Castle looks like a good visit for a day out too. Happy WOYWW Helen #3
The little books look even better in real life. I see our country house is looking good too 😄

The fabric collage is beautiful Jo and makes a perfect cover for the little notebooks, definitely a lovely present for someone! I’m glad you managed to find something useful out of that pile of fabric that I sent to Annie (I’ve managed to split it five ways, there was so much of it!). I loved Powis Castle (Chateau Doddy) when we visited a few years back, interesting place.

Annies "little pile" looks rather lovely on a Sunday afternoon. Hope she invited you in for tea.
Love the little notebook covers. Clematis in that colour reminds me of one we used to have. I'm not much good with clematis sadly.

I am so in love with the fabric book covers but you make me feel guilty that I don't do enough sewing these days. Looks like a good day out too. Happy woyww, hugs Angela x6x
Gorgeous clematis book covers, thought they were going to be credit card covers before I read notebook. Bet you could get one in they look the right size. Wow that is certainly n impressive building atop the hill, lovely day. Hugs BJ#1
Beautiful notebook covers Jo. Love all your photos of Powis Castle too. I may rejoin the NT and EH now I have retired and have more time to visit. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah
