This was a fun project to embroider. I used white crayon to color the spaces in and then colored over the white with the bright colors. I was not sure how I was going to finish this project as I was doing the embroidery but once it was complete I decided to make a pillow. I love decorative pillows!
The pictures below give you a little close view of some of the embroidery.
My pillow sits on a wicker love seat in our dining room. You can see a little bit of it behind the tea cups in the picture below.
This was such a fun project and I even enjoyed putting the back together.
I put the pillow out in the daylight on our bench on the back porch. I think it might spend a little time there also this spring and summer.
Thank you for visiting a I hope you continue to enjoy Tea For Two.
Be sure to visit all of the participants in this hop, I know you will be amazed by their creativity.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic pillow! I have used crayons for coloring, but using the white as a base is something I will be trying. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! We are loving all this colouring in with crayon and then stitching - might have to try it. It looks so good. It looks super made up into a cushion and is perfect on the outside bench.

ReplyDeleteThis has been a wonderful hop. So much talent and what you created is wonderful! I just love all the colors and the fabric. The fabric you selected you can do so much with it. 17 grandchildren, that keeps you busy and a white to a pastor.

ReplyDeleteJust lovely - the pillow was a great idea especially with each stichery in a frame. I assume the reason you did the white crayon first was to make the colors turn out lighter in color. Or...is there another reason? What a bright and happy spring project.
ReplyDeleteThe pillow is so beautiful. You have made a lovely work putting the embroideries together in a happy project. Thanks for sharing your creativity.
