I haven't done any embroidery since I can't remember when. Could it really be 1975 when I embroidered 'Why Not?' on my jeans? I've started a heart for
the keychain challenge and I'm enjoying it. I don't think that I would take it up as a hobby but I might do something someday with embroidery and beads and frame it.
I wanted to use up some of my scraps so this piece for the heart is too small to put in a frame which is making it difficult to embroider. Here I've stuck pins in to decide where I want to put French knots.
The computer hasn't been home for a few days. I finished A's hat and he has been wearing it so I suppose that it is satisfactory! I think the top came out well.
I finished my crocheted luckypenny holder for the key chain challenge.It doesn't look too much like a four leaf clover, but close enough.
I finished my embroidered heart key chain for the key chain challenge. It's rather large for a keychain but I'll only be using it for a month and then I want to hang it on my wall. I've used crochet thread so that the embroidery will stand out and be noticed but because it is so thick I can't make delicate stitches. I think I've spent more time searching for stitches than actually sewing them! It looks better flat but it doesn't matter.
Here are the stitches I used.
