On - Going Projects.

Hey guys! :-) thought id give you a quick update on what im getting up to as I have a few on-going projects at the moment. The first being a larger applique canvas, similar to the techniques in my previous post. 

I decided I wanted to do a floral applique canvas with birds, so I drew out my design onto the canvas then began cutting out the felt and floral fabric into the shapes I had drawn. I then started using embroidery to go around the flowers and birds when i ran out of black embroidery thread. So whilst i wait for my order to be delivered so i can finish it, heres a few pics of how it looks so far... 



As you can see from the pictures, the black embroidery thread really helps the applique flowers and birds stand out. Since taking these pictures I have also added a border of ribbons to help frame the design more. I will show pictures of the finished product soon...

The second project im working on are some more cushion covers for my sister - In - Law, Lucie. Her, my brother and little nephew have visited this weekend so I gave her the jungle cushion covers I have already made, she liked them so much she wants me to jazz up her living room cushion covers. So ill get working on them this week then put some pics up for you all :-)

Im also going to stock up on more materials this week including canvas', fabric and felt, and charms, so im excited to get started on more crafts!
