it had been ages (or at least weeks) that i had created anything with my hands. for this creative mama, i was nearly starved. it is a way i worship the Creator.
making this little hoop art was food for my soul.
knowing that a dear friend will get to enjoy this sweet bird and these true words is the dessert at the end of the feast.
i used a scrap of anna maria horner fabric stretched in a wood embroidery hoop and simply free hand embroidered over the pattern. no plan or pattern. for the words, i took a permanent marker (yes, it was a bit risky!), wrote out the verse, and backstitched over the ink. a most excellent lap project and a good way to practice a variety of stitches.
i am entering this hoop art to the celebrate color contest over at stitched in color. check out all the other sweet needlepoint projects here.
