Stitching Spring Flowers Ta-dah


Hello.......... Today I thought I'd make my Five on a Friday post all about my Springtime embroidery which is now finished and waiting to go up on exhibition in our local library, this Sunday eek. It's part of a group project, where we were all allocated a piece of fabric and a season, with free rein of expression.

I opted for embroidery but others  have painted, sewn and even added photo's, so I'm looking forward to seeing them all hanging together.


As for the hanging part, the lady who runs the craft club, took the pieces and enclosed them with piece of mount board so they would all hang the same, adding buttons to the fabric panel at the back to hang them by.


So in my last post I showed you the golden sunshine


and beaded rain drops, so I think we are just about ready for a.....


Ta-Dah

I also added a little wooden butterfly button, as a final touch. For my first real attempt at embroidery I'm happy with how it turned out, I've learnt a lot along the way, and I'm so please I just went for it doddle style.  In the future I think I'm going to try more ribbon embroidery as it's just so pretty.


I'm really looking forward to seeing all the panels together up on display this Sunday, I'll take some pictures so you can all have a peak too.
