Embroidering on....
It's like the galloping ick - I can't seem to stop adding embroidery to this landscape. I guess it will tell me when I should be done....
Today's quote..."Everyone has the right to be stupid, it's just that some people abuse the privilege"
Hmmm - I don't know the name of the stitch but I think it's buttonhole bar (?) - at any rate I did two straight stitches and then buttonholed the length of them so they're more or less free-standing, at least in the middles. Clear as mud?
Love this, especially the daisies! It's such a pretty "field of flowers". Jillayne (No matter how hard I try I can't sign in and my URL comes up invalid so "Anonymous" it is!)
Sherry of createology: Mary Anne Dear your embroidery is lovely and adds so much definition and depth to the landscape. Great links as always. The felted vessels are amazing. Summer Smiles…
Your garden is growing. I feel it's like what we've been up to the past few weeks. I think we're done planting and then my husband will say "I think we need something over there" which means a visit to the nursery. I wish my yard looked as lovely as your quilt.
Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
Loving those white daisies and the pink Queen Anne's Lace flowers!! Lovely work Happy 4th hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteThank you Julierose - I have a problem knowing when to stop!
DeleteYour embroidery is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you Vicki!
DeleteYour embroidered flowers are incredible. Keep on stitching!
ReplyDeleteHah - as if I need any encouragement to carry on!
DeleteBeautiful. I love those white daisies too, and I'm wondering the stitch is you used to create the petals.
ReplyDeleteHmmm - I don't know the name of the stitch but I think it's buttonhole bar (?) - at any rate I did two straight stitches and then buttonholed the length of them so they're more or less free-standing, at least in the middles. Clear as mud?
DeleteYes! I can totally picture that. Thanks for explaining. :)
DeleteYou're welcome!
DeleteI think you need another daisy! To get an odd number, for balance. But yes, I know that feeling of just one more, just one more.
ReplyDeleteThere actually is one more - I didn't show the entire row of stitching in this photo.
DeleteAnd aren't there a lot abusing the privilege of being stupid at this present time?? Love all your embroidery; so pretty.
ReplyDeleteHow true! Stupidity seems to reign supreme these days.

ReplyDeleteduplicate comment so I removed one!
DeleteAll I can say is... Absolutely gorgeous, and yes I am sure you will be told when there is enough.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I keep wanting to add more so I guess it's not enough quite yet!

ReplyDeleteThere's a lot of 'anonymous' going around it seems. I think the daisies are my favourites too.
DeleteI love, love your bountiful "flower garden."
ReplyDeleteThank you! I've claimed a definite degree of artistic license over the original photo, that's for sure.

ReplyDeleteI seem to have to add embroidery to my landscapes - must be my crazy quilting background coming out in me.
DeleteSuch pretty embroidered details Mary Anne, I am sure the landscape will let you know when it is enough! Christine xx
ReplyDeleteI think I'm nearly there with this one - just have to finish up a couple of areas and then it will be on to the background.

ReplyDeleteThank you Lorraine - kind words indeed!
