Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Stupendous Stitching: Adventures in Surface Design »

Instructions

I had so much fun with this..wanted to keep going.
Take Carol Ann's advice and choose your frame size before you start.
I used two different colors of rattail at the edge..one gray to cover the zig-zag and then black around the very outside to blend with the black frame.

Difficulty:

Category: Embroidery

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Funky, Whimsical


Materials

Dyed cotton fabric. Yarns,ribbon,rat tail and threads. Beads.

What was your inspiration?

My favorite colors and the things I had available in my stash,
and Carol Ann Waugh of course!

What are you most proud of?

Giving myself the time to play and getting the project finished and on the wall.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

It seems strange but get your framing materials first. i had to cut my final piece down too much to fit the frame size in the end.

This is so nice and sparkly! Did you pleat this fabric or is that the design in the fabric? Also, what kind of thread did you use the the bobble type stitch on the top? I really like the effect of it.

Wow! That black/white ribbon adds a real punch! That is fabulous fabric, too! Ditto the info about choosing frame size first -- cannot emphasize that too much (if you're working on your second piece, you will have learned this for sure from your first... LOL)

I love the vertical lines in your background fabric and the horizontal lines of your stitching. This makes it so interesting!
