Note for a Friend #2
I’ve been having lots of fun working on these small (5 x 7) collages. After composing the second one, I began to select threads for hand embroidery. This photo gives an idea of my lively palette. LOVE these strong colors!
And here’s the final product. (Click for a larger view.)

Beautiful hand stitching; Elaine Quehl has some on her hand-dyed fabric I just saw on her blog. Makes me want to break out my ample supply of DMC floss and embellish something. Hand stitching is soooo soothing, even though I am always at the machine.
Hi Martha, I don’t often do hand stitching, but I love it on little pieces like this (when it doesn’t take very long.) I really like the character of imperfect stitching patterns, too.
