First Christmas Ornaments
Remember the embroidery I made for my friend's wedding? Well, for Christmas I made her ornaments based on that wedding embroidery which was based on her wedding invitation which was based on, just kidding, which was made by Kelly Thorn.
Again, I drew out my designs on paper with pencil, went over the final design with sharpie, and traced the designs onto my fabric with a disappearing ink marker. (In some of these pictures you might be able to see some of the purple marker before it fully disappeared.)
I really love working with the Appleton Crewel wool! Aren't the colors great?!
When the stitching was done, I glued the fabric to the inner hoop, glued a circle of felt to the back...
And it was signed!
They were signed!! ;)
ReplyDeleteI've been practicing my stitches, but I don't have anything to show for it yet. These ornaments are getting me inspired! Thanks for the tip on the crewel wool.
What wonderful embroidery, Kate. I love pink and green together. Your varied crafting gifts are never-ending. You have been so busy and so creative!
ReplyDeleteIs there anyway you can change things you we don't have to click on a link to see all of a post? It makes viewing your blog somewhat awkward. It's nicer and easier to manage if you can see the whole post (or more) at once, which is the usual and better format.
ReplyDeleteYour embroidery is very pretty though.
Thank you for your feedback, I will certainly think about it! I have it set up this way because it's the way I prefer to view some websites. When visiting a new site I often like to see a snapshot of the different posts and have the option of clicking on one that I'd like to read, rather than scrolling through a long post that has no interest to me. I just didn't want my readers to have to scroll through a really long post that was boring to them!
DeleteThanks and hope you're having a great weekend,
Kate :}
These are really pretty, I love the colours.
