A little machine embroidery

This is a woodland scene with bluebells....worked on painted calico...zig zag and straight stitches. Took forever to do given all the thread changes on the machine (just an ordinary machine). It also hangs unglazed and gets the hoover pointed at it too....the mount is fine hessian which just looks as good as the day it was hung. It hangs on a wall which gets no sun whatsoever and the colours have remained true because of that.

  1. Wow.....that is fabulous. I didn't persevere with my own efforts on the machine and decided to take up hand embroidery instead. I thought it wasn't possible to get good results on an ordinary machine. Doh.....
