BEAUTIFUL EMBROIDERY FLOWER STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL
This free tutorial will walk you step by step how to embroider a bee. The design and stitches are simple and the outcome is so cute!
Tonight I am suffering with a horrid sore throat that has me fearing strep. I have an appointment in the morning, but in the meantime I'm feeling very under the weather. I decided that instead of a big deal for Pin It Weekly, I'll just post a few quilts from my board, "heart, quilts" which has over 6,000 pins.
This listing is for one embroidered floral hand towel. Beautiful neutral spring floral hand towel to bring spring to your bathroom or kitchen! It makes an excellent Mother's Day gift, friend gift, or hostess gift. Your choice of hand towel with embroidered spring flowers add the perfect touch to your guest bathroom, powder room , or kitchen. Gift it or keep it for yourself. If you are feeling fancy the white linen hemstitched hand towel measures 14"x22" with a 1.5" hem. The oatmeal linen hand towel also measures 14" x 22". It can be fancy or casual. The huck towel is still a little formal, but study enough for everyday kitchen use. It measures 17" x 22" Cotton flour sack towels keep it casual. They measure 28"x28". All towels are machine washable, warm iron to keep it crisp and fresh looking. Processing is approximately 1-2 weeks but can change depending on the season and availability. I personally embroider each one at a time by machine in my home sewing room outside of Memphis, Tennessee. Love it, but have an idea that would work better for your space? Message me. We can work together to make the perfect towel! This design can also be done in color. Please see my other listing to see an example.
Well... mine has grown quite a lot over the past four weeks... I started with "sewing" a row of beautiful bright summer daisies :) ...and it just kind of grew... ...so how does my garden grow? It grows a little every day, and now there are more than enough flowers for one garden. There will be two:) Today I am at home, working in the "garden":) I visited a friend this week, who has created the most beautiful garden, over the past couple of years, and the simple joy of walking around her garden, chatting about the plants and flowers, was all the more special when you don't have one of your own. My mother, too, has a heavenly garden. No matter what time of the year it always looks so beautiful, even in the dead of winter. For me, gardens have the most amazing ability to change the way you might be feeling, always for the better. This was one of my favourite gardens I visited last year in the tiny French village of Hautpoul. A beautifully recreated medieval garden... So when I stitch my flowers, it feels a little like I'm gardening, until I can do it again for real. Today I've been setting the flowers into their garden "beds", stitching the occasional new one to fill a gap... and so my garden grows:) Thank you so much for the lovely comments left on my last post. So very kind, and I'm happy that my wee flowers make you smile :) Back to my "gardening" now :) See you Jenny xx

Embroidery was something that old ladies did while eating jello and watching soap operas or at least I imagined it that way. As it turns out, I think most people who actually do embroidery have a huge sense of humor. My first introduction to inappropriate embroidery was my mother. You see, my mom was walking passed an apartment building’s trash receptacle when a rat came out and bit her. She had to get a tetanus shot. My mother decided the best way to illustrate this debacle was by embroidering a Pac Man style scene where a rat was tracing her through an urban neighborhood. These embroiderers are a bit more sassy than my mom and have put phrases that you wouldn’t dream of hanging up on your wall onto convenient hoops so that you can do just that.
