Så har vi firat midsommar!!! En efterlängtad helg i detta land! Vädret har stått oss bi, åtminstone där jag bor. Det är nästan för varmt för att vara ute, så då kan man sitta inne och brodera. Jag har verkligen funderat hit och dit på mitt nästa projekt. I mina gömmor hittade jag detta broderi, hade alldeles glömt bort det, och det får bli mitt nya projekt! :
Here in Sweden we have celebrated Midsummer this weekend!! We Swedes just love Midsummer. Dancing round the maypole, eating new potatoes and pickled herring, picking seven different flowers, put them under the pillow and dream about some guy 🙂 although this year it has been a slightly different. Stay at home, dance by yourself and so on, but at least I can´t complain about the weather! So I been thinking about my new project. With what shall I start? Then I found this embroidery in one of my drawers and yes, this will be the one!:
Visst är det vackert! Jag tänker inte sy den lilla väskan dock. Tog ett tag att rita dit alla änglar och blommor och så skulle jag leta på garn i rätt färg. Jag har ganska mycket broderigarn liggandes, men inte riktigt alla färger, så jag har fått improvisera. Nu har jag börjat sy på blommorna i mitten!
It´s beautiful, isn´t it! I´m not gonna sew the little bag, I think! It took me some time to draw the angels and the flowers on the fabric and then I had to find the right yarn. I do have a lot of embroidery yarns, but I didn´t have all of them, so I had to do some improvising. Now I have started stitching on the flowers in the middle!
Jag är med i en broderigrupp (SAL) tillsammans med flera broderare. Vi bor överallt på denna jord. Här nedan finns en lista med namn och länkar till de övriga i denna SAL. Besök dem gärna och bli inspirerad!

Thank you! No, it isn´t Tilda, it´s from a company called Hatched and Patched in Australia.

I was disappointed to see the end had come for watching your beautiful table runner. However I am please to see something equally as pretty is going to take its place. This is going to be another beautiful project I shall enjoy watching. xx
