Remember This ...

It is the class project from the beginners Silk Shading class I took - I blogged about it HERE
Inspired by this pattern in the newest edition of 'Inspirations' magazine
I decided to use it, to turn this...
into this...
not bad for a first attempt, I used some scraps of cotton wadding, but I think if I do this again the wadding needs to be thinner. I am happy to find a use for the embroidery rather than leaving it in a drawer!
I have signed up for a six week creative embroidery course starting this afternoon, hopefully this will soon be filled with lots of lovely ideas and inspiration :D

    So nice to be able to you that beautiful flower and be able to enjoy it. Instead of putting it in a pile in our stash. LOL. Very pretty work. Bunny
