Here's my latest embroidery with a house and flowery yard. The trees make it look like springtime which is the wrong season, but I did start it during spring which wasn't that long ago for us. It just took me a while to do.
When I post the pattern below, you will see that I made some changes as I usually do. I decided to leave out the hammock and the person in it because I just can't do people in embroidery. But, I didn't think it would be a problem, I would just add some more flowers.
I put in more flowers on the tree on the right because I scorched the fabric when pressing the pattern on so those spots needed to be covered up. I used the nice fluffy Caron Watercolours for the blossoms on the two trees. And as always, I used many different brands and types of thread on this embroidery.
I guess I got a little carried away when I put some ground cover vines down here. I was kind of thinking of vinca vines with their little purple flowers.
Here's the pattern, it's a vintage one, so it's perfectly ok to use it since it's in the public domain. I hope someone might enjoy embroidering it, if you do I would love to see it.
This is our new, adorable grandson, Calvin Patrick, he came into our lives about six weeks ago and has stolen our hearts!
Thank you for visiting!

Your embroidered piece is so lovely. Do you have a site you go to where you find designs like this? I like the design without the hammock. Your stitching is perfection.
Lovely grandson! I sure he hope near so you can enjoy watching him grow.

Hello Karen! It's Robin in Montana. I'm so glad to see your post. What a gorgeous grandson Calvin is! Don't they just steal your heart away? I hope you have many hours to come with getting to know him.
I was so excited to see your masterpiece today. I've never seen anyone create beauty with a needle and thread like you do! That purse on the last post was gorgeous. So, when you stitch your flowers, do you just know what stitches should be used for what flowers and fly by the seat of your needle? Or, do you make a master plan before you start? I keep collecting patterns to embroider, but always go back to my reproduction samplers on linen, in part because I am so uncertain of what stitches to use for the outlines.
