Stitch & Twitch
posted Wednesday November 25th, 2009
Drumroll, please.
I finished my first embroidery project. Also, perhaps, my last, though I do own the Sublime Stitching chick’s latest book and enough materials to half-fill one of my Rubbermaids.
So we’ll see.
I’m happy with my final product — maybe I’ll show you the front sometime. I’m going to frame it for Annabelle as a Hanukkah gift (so I’ll have to do at least one more for Sophie, who’s requested something in purple). The front’s not so bad — if you squint. It looks a lot like the pattern. Some friends and I took a fun class last week at Frances.
But here’s the thing. It was a pattern. Mine looks just like everyone else’s, only not as good. If I do more of this, I plan to branch out — that’s the cool thing about Sublime Stitching. There’s room to play.
Meantime, I kind of enjoy the final results of the back of my first project, which might be the biggest mess ever, in the history of embroidery.
I’m so proud.
Bless your heart.
Yes, but like the dust on the top of the fridge, if you can’t see it, it doesn’t count. Turn that thing over and show the front side with pride!!!
Amy- it’s all about the front! I’m with Cheri on this one! Sew it into a pillow and no one will ever see the back!!
hope things go better for the rest of your “homemade holiday’s”. it was really great to meet you!
