Since the sewing machine is now officially out and I've already started my venture into hoop embroidery, I decided I should combine the two into a project. I wasn't sure what it was going to be? I was thinking another wooden hoop to hang on the wall, to be brave and jump right into making a quilt, or stick with simple -- a tea towel, a pillow...my mind was jumping from one idea to the next as I worked and the not knowing was really fun and turned out better than if I had had a plan....I think?
It started with these. Aren't they pretty?
Next I made these little circles.
Then I started adding all the stitched details, which was really fun!
And, I just kept going!
Now it's finished...
And, I love it!
