Back to Stitching

This week I have been concentrating on finishing an embroidery from one of my digital images. I have called it Carnival because it reminds me of exploding fireworks.  The digital image is on my other blog called Maggie's Moments which you can access from the button on the sidebar or from the link.

When I printed the image on to the linen I forgot to change the settings on the printer to colour, so that is why the background is in grey, and I like to think that is the dark of the night against the colour.

The other picture is of my Picot Chain for this week's Tast Stitch.  I have mixed this with other chain stitches to go onto my Stitch File page for the chain stitch family. The Stitch Files can be found on Sharon B's page

  7. Lovely TAST samples Shirley, BUT Carnival is just stunning. The way you've used stitching and digital images is amazing. I want to do something similar but my efforts just won't cut the mustard compared to this. Congratulations my friend, it's beautiful.
