Lately I have seen lots of beautiful quotation artworks in embroidery hoops.....but most of the words are embroidered! I am hopeless at this as it takes so long and I just get tired. Here is my little version. I saw this quote last week and just loved it. It needed to go on my wall.
Have a great weekend, it's a long weekend [ again] for us here in QLD.
See you next week.

- Grab an embroidery hoop [ I usually pick these up second hand for a dollar or so].
- Insert a vintage doiley and trim to size.
- Grab some embroidery thread, or like me, take apart a thick decorative ribbon.
- Set your words up using the thread, twist to form, on top of the doiley.
- Attach each letter with glue, a glue gun works best.
Have a great weekend, it's a long weekend [ again] for us here in QLD.
See you next week.

Funny! I will think of you 'seasing' the day out there in your kayak whenever you can!
ReplyDeleteThe thread gives it that beachy look...very clever. I love the quote too. So charming! Jacqueline xx

ReplyDeletei love it and also the other one you had made with the fabric and lace one ,so creative!
ReplyDeleteI don't follow any certain stitches when I try to embroider. Sewing by hand to me is so tedious and I have little patience for it. So I make running stitches any which way I can and call it rustic. :) Your project turned out great. Enjoy the long weekend. Tammy
