I've gotten into the embroidery craze like many other crafters have. I wanted to mark my homecoming by making a hoop just for Kansas. I chose our very rectangular state and the state flower, the sunflower.
I went into my floss box and found 4 colors. A green for the stem, yellow for the flower, brown for the seeds and blue for the state outline.
I took my two images and traced them onto my fabric. As always my fabric is muslin. I stretched the fabric and pinned the paper behind it and traced with a pencil. It's that easy!
Half way there! I did the seeds with a french knots. Turned out well I think.
And sideways! But it looks great!
I have tons of ideas for the little embroidery hoops. More Kansas, more Disneyland and a little bit of everything in-between.
