Ta Da! Since I had become so adept at straight stitching one handed, I thought I would try backstitching the January piece for the New Embroidery with Vintage Patterns 2012 Quilty Stitch Along. It is not how I would normally embroider, but it is better than falling behind. Besides, it will be a fair representation of January this year.
This "Stitchy Quilt Along" is going to go all year with the goal of quilting our pieces together in the end. I have wanted to do a quilt with a variety of vintage basket embroidery patterns for quite awhile. I will be making a table runner for our coffee table with these.
Should I use the depression era retro prints I've been collecting slowly to frame them? Decisions, decisions...
(Heeeyy, did you notice? I can operate the camera now too!)
Thanks for your kind words...much appreciated! I think your basket is lovely! I am a cross stitcher...and don't do as well with straight stitch. I love your pattern and project!
