Some sections of this hussif won't be embroidered because the pattern in the fabric is already perfect, as you can see here. All I've added is a simple cross stitch seam treatment at the bottom, some whipped buttonhole stitch on the upper right, along with the recipients name (another use for waste canvas!). I don't think she reads my blog, so it's safe.
Today the quote is from Terri Guillemets...."With arms outstretched, I thank. With heart beating gratefully, I love. With body in health, I jump for joy. With spirit full, I live"
Lovely seam stitching treatments and I do see the beauty in the fabric scene. Excellent quote. Thank you for sharing those links. Creative Bliss...
