Over the Hills
She is finished - I think...
A few flowers in her hair..
...bows on her shoes...
...and a scarf around her shoulders.
I was really not sure about that.
The dress was flowing and did it really need more colour - more needle lace??
Rows and rows of detached blanket stitch with a neat tiny picot edge...
Perhaps I was wasting my time?
Holding it in place with pins - then a few stitches. I will be easy to take out if I don't like it...
...luckily I do.
Yes she is definitely finished.
Have a lovely Friday,
Anna x
She is so joyous, so exquisite. What a wonderful artist you are.

ReplyDeleteI love your work and am teaching myself to do a bit of the raised embroidery... With the scarves, it looks like you did the on something else (the shiny surface?) and then moved it over... Do you have a post where you explain that process more in depth?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!

ReplyDeleteDear Anna, that is an amazing piece!! She is so fresh and sweet, the attention to colour and detail is outstanding. Love the texture of the hills and fresh air blowing! Well done, she is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove your stump work fresh air girl. Your descriptions of making her hair are fascinating. Recently I've gone through all your blog posts and really enjoyed them.
ReplyDeleteI too love embroidery (haven't yet tried stump work). I make a lot of monograms for weddings and at the moment am leading a village project to make and embroidered altar frontal for our church - I would love it if you would have a look at my blog http://www.addisonembroideryatthevicarage.co.uk. with best wishes for more happy sewing, Mary Addison
