The new film version of Little Women
so beautifully done and so full of joy
I had to rush home and capture it
I'll spare the worst of my sketchbook
sketches and great right to the drafting of
an embroidery project.
Many hours and a very messy sewing box and it is finally beginning to look like Orchard House.
Of course this would be when I realize my proportions are off....
Finished embroidering, then comes the scary part....cutting out the embroidered section to mount it to a background of winter themed fabric....adding some vintage lace trim....once I had it stitched and layered and ready to remove from the hoop I was stuck on what to do for a display...Joe saved the day by coming home from church with a beautiful gift box which had once held some biscotti, perfect size, perfect color, perfect frame...
There it is, my own Orchard House.
I'll be sitting in the garret scribbling away.
