I'm getting on well with the stitching designs for my new logo! I finished the wreath first, and then added the text afterwards. This is so I have two versions to play with my my logo, with or without the lettering. I'm also creating a long stitch name just on its own so I could use this separately as well. I know I could just digitally cut out the the text from the middle of my frame but I like the idea of having a separate piece of text as well.
Now it's all completed I have left it in the frame, trimmed away the excess fabric and attached a piece of my favourite striped ribbon to the top to hang it up. Here it will hang in my little picture gallery until I'm ready to work with it again!
I've been enjoying experimenting with new stitches recently, and I used french knots to fill in the centre of my dandelion. I love the texture against the straight and star stitch.
It's typical, when you're trying to form a knot with your thread they just keep slipping out, but if you're trying to avoid them they crop up all over the back of your fabric!
I've now got quite a few pieces that are ready to be framed and I've also bought myself a few more wooden embroidery hoops to experiment with framing in a different way. I plan to do a couple of Christmassy pieces ready for some craft fairs, but then my next project will be to start embroidering everything for the wedding table centrepieces, very exciting!
