HOME IS WHERE MY HEART IS, panel 2 begun

 

"Home is Where My Heart Is" 

panel No. One is now

all basted into

place -- 

My sentiment 

will be stitched  

across the top pink, dyed,

vintage napkin.... 

and

hopefully all in my 

own handwriting..

Then:

I've begun Panel No. 2

Pretty much basted now, so that I can 

finish the embroidery 

[needles and pins 

around 

the little circle in 

the Heart].

The two folk arty figures represent

Tom and I --💕;)))

Both panels will have more added,

but it's a beginning...

F Y I.....

I got the heart transfer for embroidery

from here:

Mine is a bit different, but the main 

idea comes from 

Jessie Chorley's 

transfer included in

this book...;)))

I decided to "couch" my old

silk sari ribbon piece to outline the

heart rather than satin stitch it--

as she did;

I satin stitched  around 

the little circle shape...

For the Bow outline 

at the top of the heart

I used woven running stitch...

and I 

kantha stitched

the inside...

I will be adding a button in that 

little circle part of the Bow...

The rest of the fabrics are 

bits and pieces from

my small cuts stash...

Next: 

Needle and pins embroidery...

I am thinking that dark gray-blue DMC

floss will be good...
