It has been a very very long time since I’ve done embroidery. I almost think I haven’t done that since I had kids, and both my kids are in their twenties now.
There is this fantastic new place called MakeAt140 and on Wednesday evening they have a creative night where you can go and be creative, drink coffees/teas and eat cake! My sort of place! So I started going, and I noticed a young lady doing embroidery. That was it! The bug bit me! So am starting again!
Here is what I’ve been up to!
This is a crewel embroidery motif on a white pillow case:

And this is my current project that I am going to turn into a cushion:

Also adding some texture to this lovely fabric so I can make a cushion.
