Friendship Girls | #AYearInStitches

Summer has been full of renewing friendships near and far.

No wonder my art reflects that

with these 2 black/white female figures

hand appliqued down with black Pearle Cotton thread.

Next came a fuchsia Running Stitch skirt  and belt with one Lazy Daily flower

and Colonial Knots for the bodice section.

Her friend has a lime green Chain Stitch outline and Cross Stitches

in the centers of the printed flowers.

Of course a third was needed.  She's being appliqued down with

black Pearle cotton thread.  

Looks like they are having a fun time.

Embroidery Quilt Collage Continues

Day 178 #ayearinstitches 
Another repetitive strengthening design today although a bit larger. 
2 strands lime DMC Colonial Knots on the mixed blue Straight Stitch flowers

 with 3 strands Straight Stitch for the stems.

Fashion fabrics are hand embroidered/ collaged through batting and backing at the same time.

I like this technique.
