Another attempt at embroidery just needs framing now.

I worked as a stage manager on a show where one of the actresses embroidered during a scene. My job was to set the props before each performance and I noticed that the demure Lady in Waiting to the Queen was embroidering some rather explicit images. Of course I joined in and stitched in another and before long the entire piece was covered with the most graphic, crude and pornographic images and messages as we each attempted to outdo the other. No-one knew but us, the other actors weren't aware and neither they nor the audience could see the sordid details.

Now, whenever I see an actress embroidering in a film or programme, I look closely to see what they're actually doing :laugh:

Carbon fibre... LMAO!!!
I do like that. How does it clip to the rack - did you have to buy special fixings?

That part I've yet to solve. Carradice can supply clips but not (so far) the metal track they attach to. I plan to email them about that. I've found another complete pannier hardware set but it's kinda pricey and ships from the USA so might take forever to get here.

Edit: scratch all that. Found some rixon&kaul clips elsewhere. Bottom clip looks to be an issue because of the panniers small size. Hmm.
