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....




- Perhaps some of you might like to try doing THIS.

- THIS caught my eye - a fun project to make for little ones.  And THIS one too!

- THIS is another fun project and would make wonderful gifts.

- THIS is supposedly for carrying dolls but I can think of all sorts of other uses and I'm sure you can too.

Today's quote..."Everyone has the right to be stupid, it's just that some people abuse the privilege"

  4. Beautiful. I love those white daisies too, and I'm wondering the stitch is you used to create the petals.

    1. 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?

  5. I 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.

    1. There actually is one more - I didn't show the entire row of stitching in this photo.

    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!)

    1. There's a lot of 'anonymous' going around it seems. I think the daisies are my favourites too.

    1. Thank you! I've claimed a definite degree of artistic license over the original photo, that's for sure.

    1. I seem to have to add embroidery to my landscapes - must be my crazy quilting background coming out in me.

    1. I 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.

  13. 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.
