Flower embroidery for sachet

July 5, 2006 at 12:35 pm · Filed under Embroidery

My love of needlework has been asserting itself lately and I want to share an image of some embroidery I did the other day. It uses a flower motif (from the book Hungarian Folk Designs for Embroiderers and Craftsmen) which I stitched onto a sachet I made for a hostess gift. The sachet is a little bag, about 4″ x 6″, muslin on the front where the flower is embroidered, and purple print on the back. I stitched some purchased ecru crocheted lace onto the edge, filled it with dried lavendar flowers from the bulk herbs section at Whole Foods, and tied it together with narrow purple and green grosgrain ribbons.

    I really love this. I have been wanting to learn to embroider for a long time. In fact, I just bought a book on it today at a used book sale!

    I enjoyed looking at your work, the primroses and the embroidery. If you would like to be “Friday’s Artist of the Week” one Friday on my blog with links to yours, email me a picture to sue@whittick.co.uk.
    kind Regards, Sue
