Blooms in our garden

Here’s a sneak peak at my last stitching project. A dear friend asked me to make it for her. There are a few firsts here - I have never embroidered five figures, it was the first time designing a little baby and sewing it in. Also designed a little labradoodle. The writing in the picture was a first for me too! I enjoyed putting this together for her.

The kantha embroidered, patchwork dancing girl Tote Bag in ecru is ready and packed for a dear friend! I made a little rustic tag with bits of recycled paper and it reads ‘Handmade with Love’ - I hope you love this as much as I loved creating it! I like to keep the packaging minimal, I feel the packaging material inevitably lands up in the garbage. Less use of materials and upcycling is what I like to do. I tend to keep and reuse little bits of ribbons and knick knacks. I have wrapped the bag in white paper and fastened it with a black upcycled ribbon. I hope she likes the bag!

I am embroidering the dancing girl figurine motif on a black background for a dear friend. The design of the dancing girl is quite complicated. I didnot find any white carbon paper so i tried to draw the design freehand with a white pencil. I needed to go back to the design again that I had sewed on white so as to go over the lines again to get the sewing started.

Thankful for wonderful friends who are there to brighten your day with beautiful flowers when the times are tough ❤️
