Raw Edge Applique Garland
We've finally had a little bit of sun here in the North East of England today, so I decided to take a break from egg cosies and instead stitch a cheery length of bunting in some lovely Spring colours. Unfortunately I still can't get outside to take some photos as it's now very blustery, but at least the wind has blown away the fog!
There is a bit of a heart theme going on in the bunting, both as the o of 'Home', and adorning the front of the cute little houses.
The garland features one of my favourite techniques, raw edge applique. This time though I used a little bit of blanket stitch, rather than a regular straight stitch, which makes a nice change.
Not surprisingly though, I couldn't resist sneaking in just a little bit of freestyle machine embroidery, so I dropped the feed dogs and quickly whizzed around the door, roof and windows!

It's now back to finishing the last of my Easter egg cosies!
This is really, really cute. xx

ReplyDeletehm.. I am reached here by searching for calibration details of embroidery machines ... think it is right place for it and this site should be an encyclopedia for the embroidery business.
