The Sewing Machine Broke!

So, until we can get it fixed, I am unable to do a lot of sewing unless I want to do it all by hand.


I am working on an embroidery sampler, though. In a month or so I will be teaching a friend and her 2 daughters how to do embroidery, so I am busy whipping up a sampler with a bunch of different stitches and techniques. I've found some really cool ones here. It's a really cool blog that has been very helpful in my embroidery endeavors.

Vintage Fabric and Embroidery

I found this vintage print canvas fabric in the remnants bin at JoAnn's. I do so love JoAnn's. I've done some embroidery on it, following the print. I may do more, I may not. This fabric has such lovely panels. I'm going to take some of the rest and make it into a 3 panel piece of wall art, just by framing the fabric with the raw edges showing. It will make a nice bathroom or hallway piece.
