Tag 10 and the prompt was Suffolk Puffs and a bit of lace. As usual the video prompt was great to watch and very easy to learn from it about how to make a Suffolk Puff. I had never tried to make one before. Thanks to Anne Brooke for the inspiration and for all the shared tags on social media that also provide inspiration.

Found a few more fabrics in the stash to experiment with and cut out two circles to have a go. Quite easy to stitch around the edge of the circle turning a small hem in as you go. A little trickier to keep the stitches even so that the gathers in the puff are even. I did not like leaving the open section in the centre so found the perfect button. It has been waiting for its time to shine for quite a while. A well stocked stash is a blessing when taking up a weekly tag challenge.

 Practiced my fly stitch, french knots and pistil stitch and continued to experiment with metallic thread. My lace pieces are the same as on previous tags - have not run out yet but the time is coming nearer.

Suffolk puffs are also know as Yo Yos and can be created in many sizes. Have you tried one? How did it go?
