I have been working on my Madness panel, and I think I am making slow, but good progress.  I finally finished embellishing my “mask” free-machine embroidered piece, and I found the perfect spot for it on the Madness panel.  I also have more photos of the embroidery I have been doing elsewhere on the piece.  I have a lot left to do…I am currently contemplating lips…lips to represent the voices some artists, like Virginia Woolf,  hear that drive or hinder their work.

A lovely seam with bullion knots and French knots. You can just see the web stitches peaking out from under one of the free floating seams.

A small, stuffed applique with metallic French knots on the chain stitched seam.

One of my favorite seams. Tiny stab stitches that seemingly are all around.

A better view of those web stitches with black French knots, too.
