I seriously love the Simpsons, and have been planning a Simpsons quote hoop for ages now. I finally settled on a simple 'Get Bent!'. I'm not 100% sure when I originally started this hoop, but it lay untouched for a while. I ran out of the original colour I was using and accidentally started with a different shade of pink (I didn't realise until I saw it in full day light the next day!) and I thought I had ruined the whole thing. I was really annoyed because it had taken my ages to get the lettering right and I was really loving it. I eventually picked it back up and decided to finish it off using a few different shades. And I love how it turned out. What do you think? I don't normally show the backs of my work, but this negative space technique is pretty messy!

DeleteOh god, this is the best embroidery project I have seen in years! Love it. Got any tips for the lettering technique?
ReplyDeleteThank you! Thats so nice of you to say! Lettering is tough, on this one I used my computer as a sort of make-shift light box! Held my fabric up and traced the outlines!

Holy smokes, I love this so much! I started similar to this, letters in negative space, a white back but gave up on it. This makes me want to pick up that hoop again.
ReplyDeleteThis one took me waayy longer than any other hoop I've done (and the reason I love embroidery is its quiickkk)!! Definitely do it, you'll be so satisfied at the end!
