Well here it is Easter and I don't know where the time has gone,

I have been working on a challenge with the Surface Textile Group from Stitchinfingers. We were challenged to take February and March to do a piece of work using some of the pieces of fabric we had collected in our swaps over the past. As I have only been in the group six months I haven't had as many swaps but it is amazing how much I have collected already.
I decided to use my discharge dyed black material which had brown/amber undertones.
I stitched a black background with diagonal lines using a variegated thread. Next I cut holes in the piece and inserted from the back selected pieces of the discharged material.

​I called the piece "Deconstruction"

    I am Marie Brunton and have been interested in fabric crafts for many years.

    I live on the North Shore of Auckland City in New Zealand.  We have a beautiful coast line and sandy beaches which makes it a pleasant place to live.

    I am now retired having spent many years teaching and in Administration positions.

    The outdoors and native bush which is abundant in New Zealand, is always a source of inspiration for living and creating.

    This is the first time I have started a Blog so expect it to grow and change as I learn more about it.
