David, Adam and Madonna

Gosh, so long since my last post once again!  I was determined that once I'd changed my blog to focus on free motion embroidery I would post more regularly.  I didn't imagine my day job would suddenly become even busier than it has been and that when I finished work for the day all I'd want to do was flop in front of the television. 

I've been working on bits and pieces here and there and now have a total of three free motion embroidered portrait kits for sale in my Etsy shop.  Currently you can choose from David Bowie:

Madonna:

and today I've added Adam Ant:

The kits contain pretty much everything you need to stitch the portrait from backing fabric, to templates, all the applique fabrics (which in most cases are Liberty tana lawn) and a hints and tips card as well as full instructions. 

They come packaged in a kraft card box and I have to say I got great feedback on them when I used them for a workshop at the Knitting and Stitching show. 

I plan on adding more portrait kits to the shop as time goes on, so let me know if there's anyone you'd love to stitch and I'll see what I can do!

I'm also planning on adding a small range of mini kits, which will be perfect if you've never tried free motion embroidery before and just want a little taster.
