Jo’s been at summer camp for the last two weeks – hopefully loving every minute of it. 🙂 Last year I sent her cards made from my embroidery and applique patterns (see them here and here, and watch a video showing how to stitch on paper here) and this year she asked me to do the same thing. I thought I’d share them here with you so you could see a non-stitchy way to use embroidery patterns.
I use paper that I painted with simple patterns, but you could use magazines, the linings to security envelopes, giftwrap – any paper scraps really. You could also use the same patterns for applique – especially easy with fusible adhesive. Just enlarge them to whatever size you like!
That blue cat up there at the beginning is one of the cats in this embroidery set.
Sluggo is the free pattern I gave away over at Wild Olive.
This hen is from the chickens collection.
And this is one of the mini monsters.
Jo’s at camp for one more week – so a couple more will be coming soon!
Happy stitching!
Best,
Wendi
