I laughed and said I'd have to paint it!
Woke early and decided to do just that!
It started life a piece of cardboard tube hot glued to a wall tile.
Still doing daily embroidery too. Weekly update here. I even stretched and finished my colour wheel embroidery so now have my large hoop to work with, much better.
love the cardboard tube holder! you've really caught the embroidery bug - like the look of the new one. Helen #1
ReplyDeleteGreat idea with the tile and cardboard tube. Love the mounted piece of embroidery too. You have certainly powered on with the new piece! Happy WOYWW Sarah #8

Happy WOYWW. Clever use of cardboard tube and tile. Your embroidery is just fabulous. I used to do a lot of cross stitching and would like to have a good at 'proper' embroidery. I bought myself a magazine last year, which I am keeping until my credit card debt is paid off and I can treat myself to some threads. Ali x #22

ReplyDeleteLove it! Your embroidery is looking really good. Take care of your fingers/hands. Dorlene #34
ReplyDeleteHi BJ, that's a great recycling job and I like the colour you've painted it. Enjoying watching your embroidery grow. I'm still working on my 'sampler' and just bought more embroidery threads today - I've caught the bug too :) Hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend. Elizabeth x #27
