Howdy y'all, it's Friday once again and this time, I've got a finish to share! You may recall that my goal for the OMG March party was to learn some embroidery. I rented a book from the library with a lovely little kitty cat in it that was perfect for a starter project! I found an old embroidery hoop and embroidery floss in my craft supplies and snagged some Kona from my stash and got to work.
I absolutely loved doing this! I actually finished the cat on the chair in one sitting one afternoon. Then, a couple nights ago, I decided to add some lettering to it. I looked up fonts for ideas, but ended up winging it in the end. I love the rainbow words, it makes me smile every time I see it! :)

Yeah! You did a great job. The cat is adorable.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anja! I had a blast with this one and it came together surprisingly fast! I see myself embroidering more little animals in the future. :)
DeleteWoo hoo! You did it! And it turned out beautifully. I did some hand embroidery on my Skill Builder 2015 quilt and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I keep meaning to get back to it. Well done on meeting your March goal and thanks for linking up with TGIFF @ A Quarter Inch from the Edge!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenn! After doing it, I can't believe I waited as long as I did to try it out! It's something I can definitely enjoy more of. I can see some personalized quilt labels coming from this, I can't wait! :) And thanks for hosting TGIFF!
DeleteThis turned out so cute. I just love seeing all your amazing projects and can't wait to see what's up next.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennifer! Seeing your bits of embroidery on your blog pushed me over the edge to try it, so you get some of the credit for this one! :) I'm planning on finishing up a commission baby quilt today, then I'm free to dive into whatever I want, I can't wait!!
DeleteAdorable! Embroidery is new for me too, having dabbled with a few stitches this past year. Such a sweet finish - congrats!
ReplyDeleteThanks Heidi! It's amazing how much you can do with just a few stitches of embroidery!
DeleteIt looks amazing! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThanks Quilter Kathy! I had so much fun making this one, I'm looking forward to even more projects soon! :)
DeleteCute as anything! And so appropriate.
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan! When I redo my blog header, this will definitely be in it, it make such an adorable little logo! :)
DeleteWell Done. That is so cute.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marlene! It turned out even better than I imagined! :)
DeleteOooh Excellent! I just took up embroidery also - I'm doing the Life is Beautiful hand embroidered quilt. Its a lot of work but so much fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kaelyn! How fun that you're learning embroidery too! I've been wondering how to include embroidery in quilting, I'll have to check out the Life is Beautiful quilt! :)
DeleteBeautiful job! Can't believe you've learned this so fast!
ReplyDeleteThanks Shannon! Keeping things simple has helped me learn so far! When things get complicated, I get confused really quick! Lol.
DeleteYou did an excellent job of teaching yourself to embroider.It looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa! The library is such a useful source of information, it's been a huge help with learning different things! :)
DeleteThis is super cute!! Lovely work :) and so nice to have something that makes you smile!
ReplyDeleteThanks Stacey! I ended up hanging it up by my sewing machine, so I get to smile at that cute little cat every time I sit to sew. :)
