I mentioned a couple weeks ago that I was working on a simple embroidery piece. I finished it a week or so ago, but am just now getting around to photographing and posting it.
For the banner, I used colors inspired by sherbet. Isn't it so summery and serene?
I just sketched the pattern onto the cloth with a pencil and just filled in the flags as I went along. No real pattern - just some practice and relaxation.
Happy (almost) summer!
Love how it turned out! Super sweet!
ReplyDeleteAllison! You are awesome! That is, hands down, the cutest embroidery I have EVER seen. I was about to say, it might be a tie with this other cute mermaid embroidery I saw recently . . . and realized that was yours, too :-) Do you sell your embroidery? You should . . . I'd be interested!

ReplyDeleteHow cute is that bunting? I have no idea how to embroider. One day I'll learn. Maybe you can give us all a small tutorial one day on embroidering?

ReplyDeleteKelly - thanks for being so sweet! Maybe someday I will get to publishing some patterns on my blog. I just hand drew this one with a pencil straight onto the fabric. I guess we will call it a "limited edition" piece :) I will keep you all posted if I ever am able to share patterns!
