The fabric is easy, I have plenty leftover from the previous pillow project. But the embroidery, needs to fit with the hummingbirds and the room. So I have been looking through the embroidery collections on my shelf searching for one that screams modern and organic. None of them are screaming. Then I looked at Husqvarna Viking Embroidery Collection #204 Elegant Art.
The designs are organic and a bit sketchy. But none of them are perfect. They are all way too big for this particular project, but have such potential. #10 is my favorite so far, the needlework is lovely and the components are unique.
Hello Jen, I agree, thosew designs are lovely. Have you thought about editing them if you have the software? you could take out the leaves and do something new with them.
ReplyDeleteI find it hard to like the designs in the colours suggested in the book, but once I use my own, POW!
Lovely blog, would you mind if I post a link on our HUsqvarna Viking page on Facebook?
