But will they wipe their hands on her?

YIP.180  but will they wipe their hands on her?
Stitched by JulieFrick

When your stitching is as amazing as JulieFrick's, it creates a certain conundrum. It's so beautiful, will people actually use it? :) As for myself I might dab my hands around the image, but I would never want to yuck up her embroidery.

How about you? For your embroidered projects - to use, or not to use? :)


P.s. That's a Sublime Stitching design, by the way!

Georgette the mouse

tea towel - georgette the mouse
Stitched by bookwormbethie

I have long been in awe of the wonderful stitching prowess of bookwormbethie. But Georgette the mouse really seals the deal for me - isn't this cuteness incarnate? Ok, maybe not incarnate, because it's on a tea towel. But, you get what I mean, right? Wonderful! Visit her blog for more on this mouse.

I am a real sucker for embroidered pin-ups, and this one is adorable. I love the blues and crisp white on this sweet handkerchief. Lovely!

Nautical cuteness

Worst songs

But not worst embroidery!

Maybe bad songs could be made better if the lyrics were embroidered... Maybe getting them onto fabric we could get them out of our heads...


See more on the Embloggery blog. :-)
