Remember in my last post I was doing a patchwork hexagon hoop - I wasn't altogether pleased with the white fabric I had chosen but I was at the point of no return. To rectify the choice, I added some embroidery stitches which has made me a little happier!
My bark cloth curtains were an unexpected find on Ebay - a snitch at only £3.00, it was a
wonderful turn-up.
Having spent quite a lot of time cooing over CK's Patch book, and loving the flower picture in there, I set to with making my own. I used a pretty frame I got way before Christmas. It was one of those moments where I thought 'I'll eventually find a use for it' (that was my justification). I think it was meant to have a 'crafty' project in it rather than a photo!
I was quite pleased with the result and it was fun cutting out floral flowers and arranging them.
Hopefully, service will resume fully next week! Have a great weekend.

I think your hexagon hoop is wonderful, and all the better for the embroidery! Love your flower picture too, which goes so well with the frame. Hope you are returning to calm waters now...

I adore everything you've made. The hoop and the previous ones in the last post are amazing.
Blimey, the curtains were a lucky find. I'm always looking out for barkcloth and never seeing it.
