Floral Inspiration
I have spent most of my free time this week working in the garden, everything is starting to flower and I finally feel like summer is on it's way. I did manage to take some time out to go to my monday embroidery class, I am really enjoying it, especially working with all the wonderful threads. This is my progress for the last two weeks, there will be a gold work spider at the end of the dangling thread :)
This week Sophie showed me some basic silk ribbon stitches.
I have planted lots of old English Roses in my garden, the smell is incredible, this silk one will be a nice reminder when they are over.
Wouldn't this clematis also make a wonderful embroidery? I plan to try and add a couple in variegated silk ribbon to the bottom of my heart next week.
