Still have transfers on the brain...today I added a bit of stitching.
image transfer on fabric, old buttons & hand embroidery
As I worked on the piece my mind went back to the first needlepoint kit my mom gave me. It was an owl in a tree, on color coded adia cloth and it was almost all straight stitching. I also remember it came out a little wonky but mom framed it and hung it in my room anyway. As I got older I moved into printed cross stitch, then counted cross stitch. I rarely do free style hand embroidery, but today I found the book of embroidery stitches in the van. It has been there for months, buried under papers. I think maybe it's time to make up a cute sampler. Have you ever seen the ones done by Teresa McFayden? In my dreams I could do this.

This turned out really nice! It is really set off with the buttons & stitching. You did a wonderful job! Teresa does beautiful work; I just went over & visited. I did very little stitching, except for a few tiny cross stitch & two shirts for my hubby when it was so popular to do the chambray shirts with embroidery work. Have a wonderful weekend!
Blessings,

This is lovely - it kinda pulls the heart strings...

I love this! I love making transfers too, they feel a bit like magic when you see the end result. This one is adorable.

Dear Angie, so sweet with the button balloons-love it.
Do you know that it again is impossible to comment on your blog, using internet explorer---blogspot comes up with a blank/white page, without any explanations-the same happened at The Feathered nest- and others ,started yesterday.I can see now that Dawn changes the way of commenting-and that it is possible on her blog again.
Writing this I had to use Firefox! Maybe you already knows, but if not I thought I better tell you.
Hugs and a great week-end.

HI ANGIE-- GREAT ! NOW IT IS FUNKTIONING OK, AGAIN - THANKYOU, DEAR, I`M SURE MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME TROUBLE, I HAVE ALREADY READ ABOUT IT ON MANY OTHER BLOGS... BUT WITH THIS POP UP- THERE IS NO PROBLEM COMMENTING.
HAVE A WONDERFUL EVENING.
HUGS Dorthe
Love this sweet image...."hope floats" and balloons...perfect together.
I think a sampler is an awesome idea...I love the ones set up as squares and then you stitch a square a day. Maybe a month of squares would be fun.
Teresa's sampler is beautiful!!
