"Rose Woolen Blanket and Paris Stitch-along."

Hello,

Happy Monday.;

 This woolen blanket has been a UFO for quite a few years. I had made a start on the machine embroideries and left it at that.

I think the problem was I was nervous every time I was embroidering it. I was still nervous last week when the machine was sewing the extra designs that are from the designer Sue Box..

 So instead of doing the embroidering straight onto the fabric. I decided to find some rose quotes and embroider them onto rose fabric.

 I even put some  hearts on the back of the blanketing along with a label. These were made smaller and placed behind the hearts on the front. These were a bit of a test run when it came to choosing thread colours. As the blanketing is quite thick I was able to blanket stitch around the edges and the thread didn't show up on the other side.  I chose some calico fabric for the binding.

I recently joined in a Cross Stitch-along that is being run by Kat. There were several different designs to choose from. I chose the Eiffel Tower.This is part one.

Now I wonder what is next on my "to do" list.

Happy days.
