Thanks to my wonderful Sister-In-Law, I have enough roses pieced to finish the centerpieces for my future daughter-in-law's bridal shower. Each rose consists of 6 separate pieces that have been embroidered on my sewing machine. With my hand tremors, it can be quite difficult for me to sew on a button, let alone piece together these flowers. When I decided on these I didn't expect to be doing so much hand sewing. The instructions said you could glue the pieces, but I just couldn't make the glue work properly. So hand sewing it had to be! My Sister-In-Law came over and we had a day of fun stitching in my sewing room. I think she stuck herself once. Me...SIX separate punctures. Thankfully only one bled. I was careful not to get the blood on the rose, but these roses really are "blood red" so nobody would be the wiser, LOL!
I will need 8 of these centerpieces for the shower...so I'm half way there! Then I can fill the favors (which are finished constructing, whew!) and sew a chair cover for the Soon To Be Mrs.! I sure bit off a lot with this shower, but she is worth every bite of it...and more!
Off to work on the next one...
Toodles...
