May is with us at last, so it’s time for a freebie. I’m not sure how many blog readers will be stitching for pleasure at the moment – sometimes it seems as if almost everybody who knows how to use a sewing machine is out there stitching masks. But if you’re not embroidering at the moment, just put this pot of flowers aside for the happier times that will come.
Maybe a reminder of spring…
It’s based generally on the style of those wonderful vivid Mexican folk-art flowers – I seem never to be able to get enough of those. It’s for the 5×7 hoop (130 x 180 mm) and because it’s so colourful there are – obviously – a lot of colours, and a lot of colour changes. And as you can see, the pot is appliqueed on.
