On Friday I worked on my tablecloth. I had already done the sunflower stem and leaves by hand in button hole stitch. As I had to sew through several layers to attach the brown material I decided to use the machine to do this. Then I did the petals on the machine as well.
I decided to add some machine embroidery designs to add a bit of character to the sunflower. I used designs from a disc called "Sarah's Dream". This was a fundraiser for Sarah a few years back. Sarah was a young girl who lost her leg to cancer and was aiming for the Paralympics.
I added some bees to the top of this sunflower.
On the panel on the other side I added a dragonfly to the sunflower.
Over the next few days I will be working on the longer panels. I have cut out some ladybugs to put there on some ric-rac.Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
