Over the weekend, I caught a nasty cold. Lucky for me, I was off all weekend so I parked my butt on the couch, watched some movies and stitched.
And then I stitched some more. And then I kept on stitching.
My favorite cloth to stitch on is a piece of an Aunt Martha pillowcase. The fabric is stiff and has almost no stretch. I couldn’t imagine using it for a pillowcase, let alone putting it anywhere next to the skin (maybe after a 1000 washes?).
I started stitching this little sweetie Saturday afternoon and finished her Sunday night. She was made with DMC satin floss (LOVE!), one tiny vintage button and a handful of glass seed beads to add a hint of glimmer.
After I was done with the embroidery, I sewed a piece of 100% wool felt to the back and then added some ric-rac to a piece of bias tape for a hanger.
She’ll be hanging on the door of my craft studio when we move into our new house (in only two weeks!).
