Dutch Couple Praying at Church Embroidery For My Mom-In-Law

Dutch Couple Praying at Church

     I completed a new embroidery project as a present for my lovely MOM-in-law.  Her home is decorated with needlework and Hummels and loves Dutch things so I knew she would love this.  I first started this project as a Mother’s Day gift but all the kids decided to go in a really cool collaborative gift which made this gift even more of a surprise to her which was awesome. 

     I completed this in all back stitch in 3/6 DMC 824 Blue thread.  This is a vintage design from a  day-of-the-week tea towel pattern set.  I wanted to make her something really special and this pattern was perfect.  It resembles a cup that my Dad-in-law got during his travels last year and think it is just really appropriate for her!

     I came up with the idea to work on this after I had posted about embroidery project of Fiona's portrait and will work on Fiona’s portrait embroidery this week as I take breaks from sewing and reading. 

     Things have been a little cray cray and I haven’t wanted the sewing table up to add clutter to the apartment.  But this week Jason said he will take the table up and down as needed so I can work on sewing but be able to put it away so the three of us don’t have to further squished in our wee little place for a three person family. 

     

     So, with that being said I made Fiona a new bib last night to get me back into the game and I have some projects in mind that I will like to tackle, all of which will require me learning new skills.  New sewing posts to come  I am sure of it!

Cheers!
