Earlier in the summer I decided to try my hand at embroidery and I made up this embroidery to give to her. It's her first initial secured with buttonhole stitch in black and red, some french knots, some lazy daisies, her date of birth, and a primitive little bee I drew free hand to represent the first initial of her last name (not to mention, she loves bugs). I wrapped the embroidery hoop with gray ribbon (silver is her favorite metal) and I mounted the embroidery by hand sewing a backing onto the embroidery to secure it in the hoop. This was a fun freehand project. Sorry the pictures aren't clearer, I took these with my cell phone. My camera was being re-charged.
The front.
The back.
I can't wait to do more embroidery.
