Not too shabby for my first embroidery, if I do say so myself. This blankie, made from vintage, recycled and new fabrics, is for a sweet little baby girl who may not be quite so little by the time I finish... but I do love how it is coming along. Her name was first handwritten in pencil on the vintage fabric (this piece will actually be applied to the back side of the blankie) and then I just winged it from there... because that's how I roll when it comes to matters of creativity. I couldn't be bothered at the time to open my embroidery book and learn a correct stitch. The four leaf clover is a nod to her mom's Irish roots.
It would be great to have the blankie finished in time for St. Patrick's Day but I fear that is too lofty a goal under my current set of circumstances... getting these photographs finally taken was a feat in itself, but no matter, because Fiona will never remember that I was the one who sent the late baby gift. Babies are great that way.
