I've loved every stitch of this piece of machine embroidery but it's taken a very long time to finish.
I really love finding old pieces of clothing and making my embroidery wearable.
Here's some photos of when I was stitching it....
She took a long time to make because I didn't sketch beforehand, I just began to sew directly and let her evolve.
Which was quite exciting really!
So here she is...
'Floribunda'
the last snip has been snipped
and
the last stitch has been stitched.
