I haven't had much time this summer to work on anything creative, but I did get a start on this little item which I plan to turn into a decorative cushion for a baby or toddler's bedroom... hmm, even a teenage girl could fall in love with the simplicity of this design, and how fitting is it for winter... woolly and quilt? VBG.The sheep is hand embroidered with hundreds, (egad, did I say hundreds?) of french knots and a couple of boullion stitches thrown in for good measure. I didn't realize how long it would take to fill in this little guy with french knots, but let me tell you, it took a while, VBG.
The embroider has been completed upon 100% linen fabric, with the patchwork in pretty 100% cotton prints. It is so sweet all in shades of pink with just enough white to set it off.... the tiny popcorn pompom trim is so delicate and a perfect fit for the sheep.
I plan to make the back just as pretty as the front, hopefully I will get to completing it within the next couple of weeks.
Stay tuned for the finished product. Hugs everyone.
