Pretty in a pinny

 In Alchemy, an online embroidery course, we created a design book.  Mine revolved around flowers and making an apron.
 Here are some of my design ideas and samples

made with paper and lace trim

I learned how to machine embroider, applique, how to create a design book, simple stitching and a million other things. I love putting different fabrics together both old and new and I will build up on my stitch skills as I go along.

    How wonderful to see the process all laid out in this way. It all makes much more sense now. I would love to see your book for real one day. Maybe when we start doing the sketchbook look-see :0) xx

    So interesting to see your process unfold! I can get a peek into your design choices and samples. Thank you for sharing this with us. Keeping a sample book is a really nice idea. Karen's classes are so stimulating!
