During last week I dyed quite a lot of lace and some doileys.
I often buy linen and doyleys from op shops and if they are stained or torn they are ideal for a change of colour.
I am continuing to work my way through my stash and pieces that I have stitched but not used.
This is one of the first pieces of silk ribbon embroidery that I attempted.
It turned out to be ideal for the front of a needlebook. (yes I know I have plenty of them).
This was fun to do. I used up lots of peices of felt and the inside is a piece of cotton I have had for about 10 years. I really like the colours and shall probably keep this one for myself.

Oh Dianne i have some of your wonderful dyed lace....and its wonderful...love your ribbon embroidery and needlecase too x
Hello Dian, love the silk ribbon flowers, and the way you've worked them to echo those in the background fabric. You certainly have got some beautiful colours in your dyeing - I particularly love the golden yellow pieces of lace. Your needlecase is really lovely. How many needlecases have we made between us now???? [LOL]. I've lost count.
Your dyed items always look lovely, it's a very good idea. Gives them a modern twist.
I really like your ribbon embroidery, it is so pretty.
