Drawing inspiration from the beautiful embroidered work of Hillary Waters Fayle, we created our own embroidered botanical embroideries with magnolia leaves.
I love the connection with nature as well as the idea of impermanence.
Hillary says that some of her main stitches are running stitch, back stitch and couching.
I tried all 3 stitches- and added seed stitch from our stitch embellishment class
Thanks to everyone who came to the workshop on May 13th!
