Ok, so I promised Nicky and Becky that I would post this over the weekend. However, I'm a fat liar. My pant's are on fire as I type this. There was just far too much celebrating going on for me to finish stitching it, so I didn't finish it until today. Celebrating, you ask.... why, yes! We were celebrating my birthday! Not so much an excuse, but an explantion for my tardiness.
Yep, this pattern has been done a million times, but I thought I would try my hand at it. The tinting was more of an afterthought, but it turned out ok. My honey suggested it, and it did the trick. Also, this was my first time using my new Q-Snap. Baby, I'm in love!
Had to get that metallic floss in there somehow. Always.
Not sure what I'll do with it. Originally, I had intended it for someone who told me to surprise her. However, it doesn't remind me of her at all. It's much too Lisa Frank/60's. I've been in pillow mode recently, so it'll probably be it's fate.
More on my b-day later! It was such a fab time, can't wait to tell you. Have a craftastic night, guys!

I know those are just some perfectly executed basic stitches, but I can't wait to learn how to do that. There is a dressform quilt I am just dying to make and it is all embroidered!!
too bad you don't give classes!!
OMG Jacquie this is brilliant! I love the shading. It looks perfectly sixties. And are you IN LOVE with your Q-Snap?!

What is the color? Dye? Crayons? Colored pencils?
I saw someone else use crayons and it looks amazing, and so do your flowers.
Thanks, Velma!
Rookie- Thanks, this particular one is with colored pencils. I use crayons often though, too!
