Changing colours
I'm still beavering away on my embroidered hoops.....and still have plenty of my original vintage tablecloth......but thought it might be nice to work with some different colours for a change.
This was a small cloth I found in a charity shop which was already part embroidered.....I've finished off the stitching.
Added buttons and beads......and also die cut some felt flowers for a bit of different texture.

It's so lovely - and I really like the idea of you finishing off a piece if stitching you found in a shop. I wonder who started it?
So pretty, like the button additions you've made to bring it smack bang up to date - you plainly have more patience than I do, Jacky!

It's lovely Jacky. Like Sian, I wonder who may have started it. Great that you have given it a new lease of life.
They are looking really lovely - can't wait to see the finished display :0)
That is a lovely idea Jacky. I love upcycling and giving things a new lease of life. This looks so pretty with your buttons and hoop.
Awesome idea - and the beading is definitely my favorite bit.
You've done a lovely job Jacky, it is so pretty and delicate.
Wow, what a fab 'recycling' project ... love your buttons and beads too :)
I love the addition of the buttons and beading. This project is making me wonder what happened to my embroidery patterns. I haven't come across them in my purging of the second floor, but they may show up when we hit the basement and the attic. This is beautiful!
love all the texture & colours Jacky.
I love how you've adapted your lovely layering style into a totally different craft. Beautiful.
These look like so much fun. I can feel your joy in doing them.

So pretty and decorative, Jacky! I love to look at them close up and see the different textures. Lovely colours too :)

can you come and finish some of mine?!
This is lovely, what a great idea.
These are absolutely gorgeous and will look so beautiful when you have them all hung together.
Jacky x This is really stunning x
I love the fact you have finished the half started embroidery :)
Love this - you are getting better and better at these (as long as that doesn't sound like the first one was rubbish - it wasn't, it was lovely - pass me a spade and I'll dig deeper LOL)
Oh my word, you are on a roll! These are really amazing, the effort in the detail is inspirational. The colours, again blend beautifully. You need a shop, I'd buy one!
Embroidery is so beautiful.
Well done on another triumph.

Beautiful - I love your embroidery. I haven't done any for ages!
