Pink and Yellow Embroidery
I didn't have much on my "to do" list for yesterday. Yes, I have a list a mile long but other than updating a few things on my computer, I pretty much took it easy and stitched most of the day. Here is my latest crazy quilt piece:
Pink and yellow embroidery is so cheerful, isn't it? Very happy looking!
This piece started with the embroidered motif from a vintage hankie. Then I had an "s" shaped beaded applique that I took off of a flea market wedding dress I bought last Summer. (A wedding dress loaded with beaded appliques for only $5.00!) I cut it in half and used it to create a heart shape around the floral hankie piece.
There was a little flat area on the top right of the heart. The perfect space for a little bird. Using my waste canvas technique, I cross stitched one of my own little bird designs on to fill that space. I used 8.5 count waste canvas and DMC #5 Perle Cotton.
Yes, this will be another little hanging pillow.
In other news, Betty Pillsbury, an absolutely incredible crazy quilter and herbalist, has put together several YouTube Videos on working with embroidery floss and how to avoid knots and kanoodles! Please hop over to Betty's YouTube page for these "working with embroidery floss helpful hints"!
