It's a while since I've done a Folksy Friday so here goes. Spotted a couple of really beautiful embroidered designs on Folksy recently. I do a bit myself, but nothing as neat as these! I really love my embroidery 'old-style' if you know what I mean, free hand, it brings back memories of happily playing as a child with a stack of half finished tablecloths and napkins and paper embroidery patterns and hoops that I think were left in our house by my paternal grandmother. As she died before I was born, I never got to learn from her, but those patterns and bits and pieces were a bit of a crafty inspiration.

I especially like the 'I never finish any...' embroidery! It made me laugh! I haven't done any embroidery for a long time - you've chosen some lovely pieces that have inspired me again! Great post.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for including my trio of little floral frames. I'm enjoying my foray into embroidery and enjoying the creative process of a new craft.
ReplyDeleteI love all your choices, they are all so accomplished, but especailly the framed embroidery by little treasures, as it is so simple yet so clever! And gave me a little giggle too.
