Embroider Bee - Progress

Embroider Bee - Progress by fionapoppy
I'm working on my blocks for the Embroider Bee over on Flickr.

All these patterns are by Lilipopo. I absolutely LOVE her patterns, but I've modified some of them a little bit.

I'm really enjoying embroidering at the moment. I learned to embroider as a little girl, but it was all fussy, old fashioned patterns that were ironed onto a yucky bit of fabric.Doing it this way is SO much more fun!

Our schools have just broken up for the summer, so my peaceful sewing mornings are over. I've got to find a way to entertain my monkeys instead!

Happy Friday!

  9. Your monkeys look so alike and so cute! Love the quilt too that they are snuggling up with. My sister and I struggle to get our kids together given the different hols in Scotland where she still lives and England where I live now.

    Stitcheries are cute too!
