I started looking around for a small hand project to bring with me to Houston. I may not touch it, but, who knows, I could get stranded in an airport to or from! I was supposed to fly through Denver and they got a big storm, but was able to change my route to Houston. Always good to have too much than not enough!
I have my small toile hand quilting and couldn't find it! Looked high and low...
then pulled out this old French General embroidery I started in a class a couple of years ago.
I forgot how much I LOVE it!
This was Kaari's sample in class.
I tucked this away for now because I did find the toile I want to finish.
I'm looking forward to a fast and furious few days in Houston. Looking forward to seeing some lovely friends that I don't see often enough!
Take care friends!
Love that embroidery, beautiful! Have a wonderful in Houston. Hope you have plenty of room in your suitcase for all the stuff you bring home!
ReplyDeleteHave fun! AND come back with a report... ;0)
ReplyDeleteHave a fun trip. I have four days off coming up and can’t wait to get back to sorting and organizing my sewing room.
ReplyDeleteI remember when you first started the French General project. It's beautiful and I hope you get back to it soon also!
ReplyDeletePretty, Lori. A lot of stitching involved. I do get by embroidery. Have never taken the time to learn all the stitches that can be done.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time. I think Houston 2020 might be in the works for me!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very pretty embroidery piece.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Houston as a non-worker bee.
Hoping to make it there someday myself.
Your French General embroidery is beautiful. The one I did was in red. It is ready for some hand quilting for a small wall hanging. What will you do with yours! Enjoy Houston. It will be cool - 36 in San Antonio area. I keep thinking I will make Houston each year - maybe next year. I have gone 2 times and it is great - take your tennis shoes!
ReplyDeletepretty embroidery. Have fun in Houston.
ReplyDeletealso, you were spammed!
Lovely and lively embroidery! Hope you have a blast in Houston.
ReplyDeleteFelicidades y precioso bordado!!!!!. Un beso.
ReplyDeleteI took some hand work to Houston too but didn't touch it myself. I did some emergency repair on a quilted purse and my friend actually stitched some on my piece. Her work is far superior to mine anyway. Hope you had a good time.
