For our last number of vacations, I took along some type of stitching project. Never a plan, but a little bag of supplies or maybe a crochet pattern to try a bit of.
This time I had just been to an Estate Sale and picked up some great vintage fabrics. I posted a picture of some of the bigger pieces here. I took a tiny stash of the fabrics along. I had flowers in mind and this is what came out. The crocheted button flower needs a better technique, but I was winging it in a car of people so I'm fine with it. :)
I framed it in the same hoop I used to stitch it. Makes it easy.
I could do this type of "freelance" embroidery for days!

This is so cute, Jill! You really have a creative mind and I admire how you mix things up. So fun! Are you going to display it in some way?

Oh my - that's the kind of embroidery hoop I learned on as a child - so you know it's OLD!! That is the nicest kind of remembrance - and you've done an awesome job of it as always, Jill Ruth!
ReplyDeleteI envy your skills. I love fabric, but that's the end of my effort with it.
