For months I’ve wanted to create a little project that combines my two favorite crafts: hand embroidery and boutis quilting… and ta-da – here it is!  This will eventually be a top – so you can see where I drew in the neckline.

I did a backstitch on the lettering….

and french knots in the center of the flowers.

I absolutely LOVE how this looks and can’t wait to try the same concept on a more complicated piece.
