applique & embroidery hangings
Jul. 3rd, 2010 02:35 pmFinally started on these applique hangings. Actually, I started working on the design a couple months ago, but only started putting it together a few days ago. The original designs came from a book of copyright-free folk art. I took several designs, cut them up, and switched them around until I came up with these.


Nothing is fused yet. I plan to embroider the details, but I need to find the right colors of floss. I thought I had them, but now that everything is laid out, they don't look quite right.
I am perfectly happy with the layout of the urn (pink) piece, but I think the tree is missing something. Maybe it will come together once it is embroidered, but I'm not sure.
