Many years ago I used to do a lot of hand embroidery. Night after night I would watch TV and stitch away. It was so relaxing, I just loved doing it. I turned all my stitchings into primitive pillows. The stitching was done on tea dyed muslin and then bordered with homespuns. They were also backed with a homespun and stuffed with polyfil. They were mostly Christmas, Winter and Fall designs.
The stitchery patterns were purchased from various designers, Chestnut Junction was a favorite for sure. Recently I have been envious of some of you stitchin' away. So I might just have started something. I might share it with you in tomorrow's To Do Tuesday post!
There were other designs I stitched too, but I guess I didn't take photos of them or at least I haven't found them. These were taken in 2007. Fond memories of good times;) If you have been following my Monday Memories or if this is your first time, I thank you for letting me share the many different things I used to do before quilting took over my life(in a good way!).
Please come back tomorrow to see what I have accomplished this week.
Today is the start of the Sunshine Blog Hop. My day is Thursday so I better get busy!
More creativity from the past! I like to do things while I watch tv too. I just don't watch too much anymore. It's good to keep your hands busy.
