Do you want to know a secret? I started these little pretties FOUR years ago...yep, you read right, four years. Pathetic right? Yes, yes it is. But, in my defense I had an excuse. I started these little ribbon embroideries a few months before my son was born, and I got through about five of the six, and got hung up on that pretty pink flower mounted on the blue fabric smack in the middle above this wording. I got pretty frustrated (a lot frustrated, really) and flat out gave up, and set them aside.....for a while, ok, four years. This was my first ever attempt at ribbon embroidery and really isn't that much more difficult than regular embroidery, just different. One of my recent goals has been to finish up those projects just laying around, so I picked this one back up, and finished it!
I was quite pleased with how it turned out, though I had no intention of mounting them on fabric. I bought the hoops (the smallest the store had, 4" I think) thinking I would just mount them directly in the hoops. Well.....the fabric wasn't big enough, so after much deliberation, I picked out these three lovely Amy Butler prints, cut out the circles and sewed them directly onto the fabric, then frayed the edges for some added texture. Now my only problem is where to hang them?
