One project completed! This is a little embroidery pin that I made for G to bring to his mom when he visits her this weekend. She seemed to really like the placemats and napkins we made her for Christmas so hopefully she will enjoy this too. I had been thinking about making one for my Grandmother's birthday coming up and wanted to give it a shot.
I have never stitched on felt before and I really enjoyed it. But I do have a slight problem with stretching it out when I hold it. The first one I tried on some beautiful felted wool but I ended up stretching it out of shape terribly. So I used wool felt which was more forgiving.
I am slowly getting better at a few of the stitches. I still end up ripping things out and starting over a few times with different colors or different thread thicknesses, but I am making progress. I like that the projects are small so when I don't end up liking something, I don't mind as much since my time investment is so little.
The clutch still never got done. It was for G's sister. I guess that will just have to be mailed at a later date. I am ok with that.
Love the color combination. Your embroidery is beautiful.
