Another way to rescue old embroidery - again
Busy, Busy

Using some of my collection

I am a collector, sometimes bordering on a horder, but, I keep pulling myself up and getting rid of the excess when it threatens to overwhelm me.  Sometimes it overwhelms me and then I get rid of it.  One thing that I collect/hord is photos.  I'm up to 8,500 again in my iphoto folder

Some of them I have collected as ideas for embroidery.  I ljust say "Oh I like that",  click, into the folder, no reference or source.  Then, when I am looking for something I can't remember where I got it from.  But as most of my work is for myself and not for sale it doesn't matter too much.   If I want it for a design I can't use it in case I breach copyright.

So these little suits are for my grand daughter.  Two of the designs are from Jenny Hart's book, 'Embroidery Effects' which I purchased.

 The other embroidery is from images I have collected in that folder, and I have changed a bit, and I thank the artists who posted them onto the net.    My grand daughter looks really cute in them.  (More elephants!)

I wonder why so many of us love elephants so much? My mother appliqued an elephant on some pyjamas for me when I was small...

For me I think it is their eyes.

Those are delightful - Love the ellies too!
