Embroidered Applique
Here is my latest project, a wedding gift for a co-worker, in the unframed stage, 11x14-inches. The background was made by placing random scraps on a craft felt base and stitching into place. I used 2 bobbin's worth of thread with a couple of top thread colors to complete the background.
The bird, branch, leaf, flower and heart shapes are raw edge cut fabric and hand sewn into place using various embroidery stitches - similar to stitches found on crazy quilts.
