I’ve made another baby present.

This time I stitched the hearts to the bodysuit by using a straight stitch and the same embroidery cotton as the satin stitch edging. In the past I have used an invisible thread and zigzagged, but I never really liked the invisible thread.

I’ve made a baby present for a friend. The elephant design is from here (their service is fabulous).

Here is a closer look …

 At first I tried to use my rotary cutter, but that was a bit of a failure. Now I draw around the shape with a disappearing pen and then cut it out using scissors.

This is the spring block and is the last of the blocks to be made. I’ve enjoyed the embroidery process – there is something almost meditative about it.

Now I need to cut each block to size and decide on a border/sashing fabric. I’m determined to use something in my stash.

Autumn is finished – only Spring to go…

Winter block is finished.

 This is the start of the corner blocks. The embroidery is slightly bigger than the Alphabet Blocks – I thought this would help to book end the other blocks.

Here is a close up of the front.

And here is the back.

The Russian Doll design is from Bunnycup Embroidery and the mini applique on the back is from Designs by Juju.

Z is finished.

Y is finished.
