Red Work Stitchery

My sister in law has inspired me with her stitchery. So the other night, I gave it a go. I used a white pillowcase, and put the hoop on it and free handed this saying, that I have seen on signs everywhere!
I like the way it turned out. I think I want to cut it out and make it into a smaller decorative pillow.
There is definately room for improvement, but it was fun.

  1. Tis quite lovely!! I love the font you created. I am almost finished with mine. I traced the pattern on so lightly that in the evening I can't see it too well, even with the new glasses!!

    I am going to make a little kit for Emily, would anyone else want to give it a go??

  2. I think you should make the whole alphabet on paper, then I could have your Mrs. Rabe font!

  3. Actually, Lindsay likes to do stitchery too. That surprised me. And Miss Rachel is trying it but gets frustrated. I think she needs something more age appropriate, then trying to do what we are doing.

    It is fun. I have a baby blanket to finish though.

  7. That's very pretty! I'd like to try it. I've seen those pillows that say "Good Night" and "Good Morning" and think they're ever so sweet.
