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...
