Vintage Style Lavender








I have been working on some Vintage Style Lavender Hoop Hangers.
Using Petal stitch for the "L" , Bullion Knots are used for the Lavender
and each one has a generous amount of 
it  sewn into the middle.
The Cloth is a vintage dresser linen with a lace edge, I divided it into four
and used linen to back it after the lavender was sewn in.

These will be at the Creative Arts Festival in June.




Petal Stitch




Bullion Knots for the Lavender 
















Each one is unique even though styled the same as the placement of embroidery is not exact.
