I had some fun this week working with yo yos. They have never been my favorite type of hand work to do, but needed something other than embroidery to work on at night. Yo yos don't take much thinking and are quick, but the tiny ones were tricky. A friend had made these adorable bunnies in pastels for spring.
I made one in similar colors and sent it off to my daughter today. Her kitchen is gold and the other towel had a gold background. These were the only tea towels I could find locally. I figure it is not just for Easter but all of spring. Heck, nearly year around.
My neighbor does machine embroidery and can sew anything. She brought me this tea towel because she knows I have a passion for old embroidery. This looks just like it was done by hand.

Someday I'll have to get some of my older embroidered pieces out to post. There is something comforting about hand embroidery. It is probably one of the first sewing we ever did.
I love hand embroidery too. Your bunnies are adorable! Dish towels are fun because the gratification of a "finish" comes so much quicker than a quilt. :-) -Derrith
ReplyDeleteCute bunnies! I love both hand embroidery and machine embroidery, though I'm quite an amateur at both. :O)
ReplyDeleteMarcy the bunnies are adorable! Wow that other towel does look like hand embroidery. They are both beautiful.
