Awesome tutorial! Can’t wait to try this!
Thanks, Hil! And you must give it a try. Its super easy!
Your stocking is really beautiful. I love the effect of your embroidery on the black and white print! And your Layla stitching is awesome (I also love that name, by the way)!
Thanks, Jacey! I had actually never heard the name Layla until Justin (my husband) and I were riding down the road chatting about what we should name our girl. He came up with Layla and I fell in love with the name. And then I found out that its the name of an Eric Clapton song that everyone in the universe had heard except for me and Justin. I’m like, “No we didn’t name her after the song. I’m 19. I don’t listen to Eric Clapton.” lol
So beautiful Meredith! I love seeing the back of your stitching. Mine never looks that neat on back :)
I did’t really think about the back as I posted that picture. Normally I’m a little self conscious about that. I just remember my grandma saying, the key to embroidery is that it is beautiful on the front and the back. I never got the opportunity to learn from her, but I try to remember than every time I set out to embroider something.
Gorgeous stocking, Meredith! I love the embroidery and that great black/white print you used :)
