Buzzzzzzzz.....

This embroidery I finished this evening.. It took me about 15 hours to complete.. I love bright colours and pale pastel colours, so wanted to mix the two and create a piece I can hang on the wall in my craft room..  I love bees, flowers and birds (they always pop up in pictures I create!! lol)

This is A2 in size and is backed with felt, so I am going to get it framed rather that put on loops for a wall hanging. I think it needs to be behind glass to protect it any way...

I will be putting up some tutorials soon on how to create fabric embroideries by hand.. (yes I hand stitch EVERYTHING!!!!)


4 Seasons....

 The four embroideries below I finished last week.. I wanted to use up all my favourite scraps of fabric and make 4 framed pictures I can put in my new hall way when our extension is finished. xx

New Fabric Embroideries

I have not posted for a while now, but as part of my new years resolutions I do intend to post blogs more often... I have been a bit busy over Christmas with lots of new sewing projects, creating new bits to go on the walls of an extension we are currently building....

This one below is nearly 2m in length and is currently hanging in my living room... I love flowers and colours and like to show changing "days" or "seasons" in most of my work.. This one I have tried to show day turning to night...






I love to doodle new ideas and shapes and patterns too.. Below are some of the doodles I used to create this embroidery...
