In there i´ve found this nice piece of old linen fabric with the drawn pattern on it, some small parts of start-stitches and all threads. <br />I guess she wanted to made a pillow cover from it. But as a *queen of unfinished projects* she never finished this one too.<br />To be honest i was not really interested in embroderies so far ... never had the time and patience for it. But since one and a half year ago i totally changed my mind and started with sewing and crochet projects.It became a big part of my live!!<br />The biggest part of this embroidery is made with a stitch called *Plattstich* in German - i think it is *satin stitch* in English. I´ve learnd how to make this from an vintage handicraft book and also from online tutorials. And for the flowers i´ve also made some *french knots*. The rest is *free style stitch* by me :-) hahaha<br />Good luck and sunny Sunday to everyone!<br />Sabine spacecurryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16465415959924911934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879238690623093246.post-32325074102357981512013-03-03T13:55:39.431+00:002013-03-03T13:55:39.431+00:00Oh my!
