FRENCH EMBROIDERY


Bonjour mes amies!
I have been busy with my needle and thread
working on these French Text Patches.


I thought I'd share the beginning stages with you.


I drew these choice French words onto my fabric freehand.


Then using three ply embroidery floss
in this chocolatey brown colour
I started stitching away 
while watching American Idol last night.


I'm still thinking of Joshua's performance.
When he sang "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE"
I had to stop what I was doing and watch him all the way through!
Amazing voice, amazing performance!


Now, where did I put my burlap fabric?

  1. Bonjour Mon Amie!

    I love your French word embroidered pieces Carmelina! You did that free-hand? Amazing. They look perfect! Are you going to add them to Burlap? Hello, gorgeous. Burlap is my favorite thing! Have a great day my friend and thank you for the photo tips! xo

  4. What beautiful work you do, reminds me of the stitching my Italian grandmother would do, so delicate and really class pieces! Thanks for leaving a comment and checking out my moon painting, the brown and blue palette is what I liked too...was thinking of doing a pink and brown one...will see where colours take me! All the best! xx
