Something new......



Having so enjoyed stitching the embroidery details on my hexi wall hanging, it was inevitable that I would have do some more.  Out came the sketch book and inspired by my popular felt kit, I doodled a new embroidery design.  As I mentioned last time, I am loving oranges and coral shades at the moment and when mixed with a splash of cool blue, chocolate, rich aubergine and olive green, I do believe I have found my most favourite embroidery colour scheme to date (until next time that is!!)


I kept to my own personal favourite collection of stitches, french knots, back stitch, satin stitch and lazy daisies.....

The white fabric, was cut from a vintage sheet......

which then formed the centre of a dresden plate, made from tana lawns from my Liberty of London stash.  I appliqued the dresden plate on to Natural Linen and then added some simple hand quilting, before finishing of with a hand stitched binding.


The design would of course look lovely simply framed in an embroidery hoop......

With it being half term, I haven't had chance to prepare the pattern, but I'll do my very best over the next few days and will of course let you know as soon as it is good to go!

Thank you as always for your lovely comments on my last post, I love reading them all!

  3. This is so pretty Sarah. The embroidery reminds me of the dresser scarves my mom gave my sisters and I to pretty up our dressers. I really like the look of this on the linen background too. You've done a lot of creating the past few weeks! Wendy x

  9. That is absolutely stunning. You have such a talent and eye for colour. Yes, the corals, browns and blues are perfect together, and I love the design and the sentiment. It would look great just framed in a hoop too. x
