Back in January, on my birthday I received Jenny Hart's book Embroidered Effects. It has lots of cool projects in it, and there's a few I wanted to have a crack at. However as my first attempt to try proper embroidery fell a bit flat, this time I decided to start at the beginning and have a go at the sampler project in the book. This is the result:
I'm not sure whether to frame it or to put a border round it and turn it into a cushion. What do you think??
It's a bit scruffy in places, but these are my favourite bits:
Wow, that's lovely!! :) I love embroidery.

This is really gorgeous Laura, I love it! I think it would make very cute cushion!
ReplyDeleteHehehe, I got that for my birthday last year too, I gave my sampler to mum :-) Its a fantastic book innit?!
ReplyDeleteIt's adorable! What lovely stitchery ! How about using it (perhaps with some padding like wadding) to cover a hard back book to make your sewing notes and plans in?
ReplyDeleteIt's really pretty :) I'd frame it unless you're sure it will wash well.
ReplyDeleteI think this is awesome! Really precious :) I vote... Pillow! x
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to check this book out.
ReplyDeleteI like the cushion idea. Maybe with a wide border around it in a bright color you want to bring to the room? I'm sure you'll think up something lovely.
Oooh it's gorgeous, I love it, especially the font the writing is in. I like Scruffy Badger's idea of a book cover or maybe frame it and put it in your sewing room to remind yourself of your super stitching prowess. x
