Catch Up Friday - 02 02 2024

Embroidered Birds

Mainly back stitch and French Knots.
Sorry for the terrible photos, it was so dark even on a south facing window shelf.
There are actually three different coloured fabrics and threads.
I will be making a cushion cover so hopefully the photo of that will be better.



Collage

I've been playing with Gelli prints and made the collage out of those sheets.
I used acrylic paints and a variety of papers.

The Hares

  The Hares


I used the Hendricks Scrappy Hare pattern available from Etsy.

Number one made from patches of scrap fabrics embroidered around the edges





The photos above were taken pre whiskers


Hare number two, using a red theme, various scraps attached with embroidery thread. I used plaited threads for his whiskers






Hare number three was made using old jeans and a piece of tie dye fabric with added embroidery.






Hare number four - I used an old embroidered linen cushion and some linen chair backs. Do you remember chair backs from the 50's? The fabric had the pattern printed on with lines for you to embroider over. I embroidered some and left other parts with just the print.







I'm linking to Friday Face Off.

Thanks for visiting and Happy New Year.
