Embroidered Pennants

Hi all.  I hope everyone had a smashing weekend.  I am truly exhausted from throwing my almost 7-year-old daughter a "Ladybug" themed birthday party today.  She had 7 of her sweet little girlfriends over and we ate, crafted, sang and watched a movie together.  It was adorable.  I hope to share pics of this soon - maybe later in the week.

But for today I'd love to show you these embroidered pennants I finally finished.  



I found the pattern in Charlotte Lyons Etsy shop and ordered it right away.  The white cotton came printed with the images right on it.  All I had to do was stitch it in my favourite shades.  


Honestly, I did most of the stitching last summer .....and then it sat idle for all of the snowy season.  


Recently, I finally dug it out and added the ric-rac borders and the red ribbon edging.  



I chose very "Cath Kidston-esque" colours which go perfectly in my apple-green painted living room.  


I haven't embroidered in ages.  It felt good to be back at it.  Perhaps I need to get my hand on another stitching project right away.  Maybe cross-stitch this time......

Hugs to all,

B.

  3. Such patience and the colours will compliment your apple green living room. I haven't touched cross stitch since spending two years on a huge 'flowers in a jug' project. Hmmm, maybe a spring project?! Glad everything went ok for your little one's party, I miss those younger years parties, my two as teenagers have more scary, stressful ones! Have a lovely week.

  7. Your embroidered bunting is so sweet, especially with the ric-rac edges. I bet it does look perfect against your green walls.

  24. I hit something that did now show me I had published my comment so I hope you don't get this message twice.

    I am in the process of completing 30 projects in 30 days. The projects are things I pinned over the last couple of years. One that I posted about today was inspired by the little banner you created. I wanted to let you know that I showed your banner and mine next to one another and mentioned your blog.
