The second topic out of the lucky dip jar was 'rainbow'.
I decided to use a blue background to represent the sky and embroidered the colours of the rainbow using a different stitch for each colour.
For the third square, the topic was 'yellow'.
Some yellow flowers for this one on yellow fabric (but I should have pressed the square before I photographed it).
Yesterday, I picked out the topic 'summer'. I wasn't sure what to do for this one. I thought about embroidering some seashells but decided in the end to make a mini cross stitch sampler.
Strawberries, butterflies and dainty flowers, I think this is a good combination to represent summer.
So that's a total of four squares completed, only fifty more to go! But it's such a fun project, I think it will all be done in no time.
It is a lovely project & you are so right about the summer square x
ReplyDeleteIt is looking good already and makes a great project for on the go as it can be easily transported. I loved the rainbow, simple but definitely effective.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea - I'm inspired to embroider. I was thinking about towels and flannels as Christmas pressies. I love the rainbow.x
ReplyDeleteYour embroidery looks lovely and you have already got lots done!
