My version of a heart carving. Tree friendly. For my hubby’s b-day.
New Craft Project
I’ve been itching to start a new project. I can’t decide if it will be sewing, embroidery or maybe I’ll finally use our Gocco. I’ll post whatever I decide to do.
What got me started back into embroidery/crewel was this book, The Pleasures of Crewel. I borrowed it from our local library and was inspired. I loved the book so much I bought it off eBay for $2.
This is a page from the book. The colors and chunky threads reminds me of the decor in our house as a kid. My mom taught me how to do needlework as a child in the ’70s. I hadn’t done it for many years, so I started from scratch. The brown pillow inspired me…I figured back stitches and knots were manageable.
This is my completed project. I picked colors to match our couch cover and sewed the pillow too. Mom would be proud.
