strawberry







This is a small, however cute bit of embroidery!

I made this for my mum because it was her birthday and at the time a strawberry was pretty appropriate for the occasion because Wimbledon was on ( whoo Murray! ) 

In order to make this strawberry it was pretty stress-free and would be great for a beginner in embroidery or for someone who doesn't have a lot of spare time as it was a simple and small design so was reasonable quick (bearing in mind that it was hand embroidery after all.)

And if you would prefer machine embroidery instead of hand embroidery that is always an option, plus it would be quicker!

  3. Hi - wow amazing work - such variety and uses of different techniques. I am going to share your blog with a friend of mine who is very talented at embroidery and also works with dyes, makes felt and spins (not the exercise kind ��) to name but a few things she does. Thanks for putting your work out there - seeing it this morning has put a smile on my face as I head off to work. x
