"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 embroideryfrom 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...
