Sweet Escape!

sweet escape! tea towel
tea party with C
Amy Perotti just created her very first embroidery pattern. I got a pdf file of it from her shop which included a full color pattern and black and white copy(that I printed in mirror image). Then I traced it with a transfer pencil and ironed it onto a kitchen towel.
Since Amy doesn't give instructions on how each detail should be stitched, I felt free to experiment using some stem stitching, back stitching and my very own wonky stitching.
There's something about freestyle stitching that turns a straight pattern into a more organic form and breathes some soul into it.
I am very proud of how this kitchen tea towel turned out.
