Easter Embroidery Project Part Two
Since my last post on this project, I have finished the embroidery on the second napkin. This one features a pink Easter egg. Isn't this floss pretty? This is DMC's "color variations" perle cotton floss {no. 4180}. I love the color shading of this floss, from the palest pink ~ almost white ~ to dark pink:
For the next napkin {you may remember I am making a set of eight!} I decided to combine some of the individual motifs from my Easter pattern set:
I cut out an egg and some grass and flowers and taped them together:
Now I will transfer this to fabric and start my stitching!
I am going to keep the same general theme for each of the napkins. That means the same mint green grass and flower stems with the same blue French Knot flowers. I will use a single pastel color or subtle variation in colors in perle cotton floss for the egg. And, I will continue to add Running Stitch to fill the open spaces on the eggs. As you can see in this close up, I am doing the Running Stitch in a single strand of cotton floss:
I will keep posting on my progress. I should be able to finish all eight by Easter :)
They are just lovely! I am looking forward to seeing the next one in your series of eggs.
