Grandson's Cloth Book - Stump, Bees, Snail, Butterflies, caterpillars

My daughter went from making a Spot Sample from ideas we got from Mary Corbett's  Needle N Thread to making pages for her nephew's book. Her favorite stitches are turkey work, button hole and couching. She also used a bit of lazy daisy, satin, padded satin, french knots and a few others.

Grandson's Cloth Book - Spiders & Butterflies

A pocket of netting for the little guy to 'keep' his butterflies in. I made a pocket for ladybirds, bees and dragonflies too. He can take them out and his mommy can put them back in :)

 The spider is a Crusader made of almost all backstitch, same for the web using DMC floss and gray rayon embroidery thread.

Cloth Book for a Toddler

A cloth quiet book for my grandson. The idea was to create a book for him to play with and practice as many embroidery and sewing stitches as I could work in. On this page: applique, reverse applique, and ruching.
