May Flower Challenge Day Twenty-Two • Stencil and Stitch

Back to handmade for day twenty-two of the May Flower Challenge. 

I made a stencil of a favorite motif I use in my work and printed it on fabric with textile ink. I plan to jazz it up a bit with some embroidery stitches. Here is the start of my stencil and stitch project. My Friend Heather, who I will call the Queen of Stitch helped me get started with my project. I loved picking her brain for stitch ideas.

For the  May Flower Challenge you can post your flower creation, whether it is a doodle, drawing, photograph, collage or painting. This challenge has been started by Lori Moon, fellow blogger, talented photographer and jewelry artisan. Sign up and join in on the flower fun. Can't wait to see what you create as well! Please note: You do NOT have to participate every day. Play along on a specific day each week or only once - whatever inspires you. 

Join the challenge, here, it is going to be fun. 

Thank you for stopping by.
