Like many others around the joint, I trying to channel my Inner Embroiderer in order to participate in Kootoyoo's quilt project. Is this girl the community queen or what?!
Sadly, my calico has not arrived this week... time to start stalking the postman again. Meanwhile, I'm taking a leaf out of Badskirt's book and practising some 'techniques' on a bit of Kristen Doran fabric. Don't look too closely.
Who else is playing today? Pop over here and add your link...
Crikey - in my eyes (and I'm not squinting) you're a veritable expert. I may have got myself into a pickle with this one. Keep wondering how I'm going to sort out my own red square without taking a crash course in embroidery...
ReplyDeleteSome very cool stitchin happenin
ReplyDeleteI just checked out Kootoyoo's quilt project.This is really cool.
Love to see what happens
Oh i wish i wish i had signed up for this now! Everyone will be doing redwork for the next month! Im no embroiderer though.........i think your redwork looks lovley!
ReplyDeleteoh Gina your stitching is gorgeous such a great shot too
ReplyDeleteHe he he. You are a good girl for practising! Not that I think you'll need it. It's pretty fantastic and neat!! I
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I am in a state of total denial. I have never really done any serious embroidery but seem to think I'll be fine. It's my bubble and I'll hide in it if I want to...
Ooh, nothing like bold red on calico. Love it. Good idea doing a little practice before the real deal - mind you I'm not thinking you need to do much practice, this looks spot on.
ReplyDeleteNice needling there sister. Consider your 'inner Embroiderer" channelled. Peta
ReplyDeleteWhat have I done...signing up for this..your stitching is so beautiful...! mine is going to look a tad paltry...think I shall go practice before I start on the real thing !
ReplyDelete:) Peta.
Oh, that's disappointing - I thought that was your lovely design.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, you did enter my give-away Gina - If you commented on any one of my first 100 posts, you were in. But sadly to say, you did not win and I KNOW YOU ARE NOT LUCY BOWLER! I'm onto you girl!
Great work, and a good idea to get ready for the real thing. My square arrived yesterday - lots of creative fun in red ahead!
ReplyDeleteReally? That's your practise one? No way! It is so hoot, I mean cute!!
ReplyDeleteI say woooow! Looks like you're good and channelled babe!
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous work. Your quilt square is going to be gorgeous :) K
Oh yeah, and it's hoot too ;) K
ReplyDeleteThis looks great. Love the owl.
ReplyDeleteI looked closely and I think it looks awesome! I need to work on this myself! Love the idea of embellishing an existing print!
ReplyDeleteYou're doing a beautiful job.
ReplyDeleteHello me, I mean you, I mean, whoever!! I love your embroidery. It's going to be terrific to see everyone's work together. I think you've well and truly channelled your inner embroiderer!
ReplyDeleteWow, I love what you have done with this design.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSurely my mom will be interested with this. She is into sewing, and its her past time activity.
